They point out that even when researchers are working toward benevolent goals, environmental science and activism are often premised on a colonial worldview and access to land. Focusing on plastic pollution, the book models an anticolonial scientific practice aligned with Indigenous, particularly M\u00e9tis, concepts of land, ethics, and relations. Liboiron draws on their work in the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR)\u2014an anticolonial science laboratory in Newfoundland, Canada\u2014to illuminate how pollution is not a symptom of capitalism but a violent enactment of colonial land relations that claim access to Indigenous land. Liboiron\u2019s creative, lively, and passionate text refuses theories of pollution that make Indigenous land available for settler and colonial goals. In this way, their methodology demonstrates that anticolonial science is not only possible but is currently being practiced in ways that enact more ethical modes of being in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max Liboiron, Associate Professor of Geography at Memorial University, Canada, joined the Greenhouse environmental humanities book talk series on Monday, 1 November 2021 to discuss&nbsp;Pollution [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2021-11-01-Liboiron.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2021-11-01-Liboiron_pod.jpg","cover_image_id":"2389","duration":"57:25","filesize":"42.63M","filesize_raw":"44701510","date_recorded":"2021-11-01","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-2387","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2021-11-01-Liboiron_pod.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/2387\/max-liboiron-pollution-is-colonialism","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2387\/max-liboiron-pollution-is-colonialism","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2387\/max-liboiron-pollution-is-colonialism\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2387\/max-liboiron-pollution-is-colonialism<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"iSNFwchpjg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/max-liboiron-pollution-is-colonialism\/\">Max Liboiron &#8211; Pollution is Colonialism<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/max-liboiron-pollution-is-colonialism\/embed\/#?secret=iSNFwchpjg\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Max Liboiron &#8211; Pollution is Colonialism&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"iSNFwchpjg\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
