Abstract Deadline: January 31, 2024
Talk Submission Deadline: April 30, 2024
Workshop Dates: June 20-21, 2024
The Environmental Justice in Space Workshop will bring space experts together with environmental justice activists and researchers to discuss areas of concern in the space environment, lessons learned from the history of environmental justice movements on Earth, and ideas for ensuring an equitable and sustainable future for humanity in space.
The workshop, hosted by the JustSpace Alliance, will be entirely
virtual, and will included pre-recorded submitted talks, live Q&A
sessions with speakers, and live panels featuring space experts and
terrestrial environmental experts.
We welcome talks situated at the intersection of space and environmental justice, including (but not limited to):
- Discussions of specific risks posed by human activities to the space environment;
- Proposed technologies or regulation for mitigated such risks;
- Case studies in environmental justice history, methods, and approaches on Earth that may provide useful lessons for space;
- Artistic and/or cultural approaches to ensuring environmental justice in space
Format:
EJiS will use the flipped-classroom model inspired by Space Society in Context: If
your submitted abstract is accepted, we will ask you to record and
submit your 10-minute talk by April 30, 2024. All talks will then be
made available online to registered attendees (along with transcripts
and captions) on May 31, 2024, three weeks before the workshop begins.
Speakers who contribute a talk will be invited to participate in live
virtual Q&A sessions during the workshop.
