Coastal Transitions III
Keynote
"Diverse Blue Economies - the Case of Post-Technicality"
Dr. Celine Germond-Duret
Wednesday, Nov. 8
5:30-7:00PM
UConn Avery Point
Academic Building Auditorium
Abstract
This communication reflects on ten years of blue economy academic research and practice. It discusses the need to acknowledge and promote ‘diversity’ within blue economy narratives and policies, and highlights underpinning processes that make it challenging. It focuses on the role played by the technicality that frames the development and sustainable development thinking, and that prioritises managerial and depoliticised approaches, hence ignoring cultural realities and questions of justice.
Dr. Germond-Duret is a Lecturer in Environmental Politics and Policy at Lancaster University, with specific
interests in marine policy and the blue economy, international climate politics, and indigenous peoples.
