Events:<\/strong>

The Underworlds Series: Underworlds – Hope as Site of Global Dis\/Ordering<\/strong> (online<\/em>)
Moving beyond modernist modes of seeing and ordering the world \u2013 ways of governing often entangled with sentimental tropes of liberal hope \u2013 this event will reflect on hope as a set of sensibilities and practices of living after the end of the world. Hope is seen, in this sense, as a specific mode for dis\/ordering the world and our place within it. This entails an attentiveness to the diverging onto-epistemologies that sustain varying expressions of hope, as well as the political subjectivities and forms of refusal and resistance these engender. What is the space of hope and hopelessness (or the\u00a0death of hope<\/a>) in a context of mass\u00a0extinction<\/a>\u00a0and its many foreclosed futurities? Which expressions of hope (speculative, pragmatic, nihilist) can be foregrounded against the ever-receding horizon of liberal hope? Speakers: Claire Colebrook and David Chandler. Date: April 24, 2024<\/strong> at 2:00PM BST. Register here<\/a>.

Plastic Pollution and International Law<\/strong> (online<\/em>)

The European Court’s Climate Change Judgment: What the Court Really Said and what it means for Climate Change Litigation<\/strong> (hybrid<\/em>)
The\u00a0<\/em>KlimaSeniorinnen<\/em>\u00a0judgment is hailed as breaking new ground in climate change litigation by many but criticised as illegitimate judicial activism on the part of the European Court by some. UCL experts will analyse the reasoning of the Court and discuss what the judgment means for the future of climate change litigation and for European environmental policy. It will be followed by a Q & A session. This event will be hosted at UCL Faculty of Laws, London and online. Date: May 1, 2024<\/strong> at 6:00PM BST. Register here<\/a>.
