My reading of Pollution is Colonialism is thought alongside discussions with fellow graduate students in a reading group led by Dr Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw at Western University in Ontario, Canada. It is also shaped by conversations within The Ediths’ ‘Responsive Roundtable Series: Ecologies in-the-making’, an interdisciplinary roundtable series created by Drs Mindy Blaise, Jo Pollitt, Jane Mereweather and Vanessa Wintoneak at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia.
