Lecture: The Timing of Climate Justice
There’s a growing concern that renewable energy solutions to climate change can be harmful in their own right. Indigenous peoples are among the communities, countries, and peoples who have stated this concern. Why are some renewable energy solutions enacted irresponsibility? Part of the reason why has to do with how some proponents of these solutions narrate climate change through linear time. When narrated like a ticking clock, the sense that swift action is needed obscures responsibilities to others who risk being harmed by solutions. This presentation will then offer four different Indigenous approaches to narrating climate change, "depth time," "seasonal time," "kinship time," and "dystopian time," showing how each offers an account of responsibility. While philosophical, the Indigenous approaches have implications for climate governance, allyship, policy, and the media.

Featured in the San Antonio Current

As a direct result of the 2016 election, Alcantar decided to start a new artistic endeavor, the Superman Project.
