Paige West Delivers the Annual Contested Development Lecture at King's College London

Last month, CSSD Director and former co-director of the Pacific Climate Circuits working group, Paige West delivered the annual Contested Development Lecture at King's College London as a part of their Human Geography Seminars. West’s talk, “Commoning and Decannonizing Political Ecology: An Example from Melanesia and New York City,” addresses the necessary transformations the field of Political Ecology must undergo to meet the demands of a changing world through the lens of a decade long collaborative project located in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea.
