Abstract:
|
In april 2022, hundreds of scientists rose in civil disobedience, breaking the law in more than twenty-eight countries. Risking arrest, they glued their hands to roads, blocked government and corporate buildings, and chained themselves to the White House fence. In Science in resistance, Fernando Racimo provides a first-person account of the Scientist Rebellion, a growing international movement of researchers stepping beyond conventional roles to take action in the climate emergency. Reflecting on his role as a scientist-activist, Racimo describes how he came to be involved in the movement. he also explores how academic institutions today are complicit in climate breakdown and how they can transform to address it. Combining personal stories, interviews with frontline activists, and insights on direct action, this inspiring book explores how we can all take a stand for climate and social justice by collectively organizing for change.
