Jazmine Isa Qureshi (They/She)

Off to Birmingham today to talk about #Queer(ing) #Ecologies, and #Reimagining our relationship with ecology and nature, for STEM, LGBTQ and You!

This is a culminated talk.

Culminated from the many interactions I've had in the last few months and years even with ecology through so many lenses, be this #decolonial #theory in #conservation and ecology, #critical ecology, queering theories and practices, techniques and behaviours of #divestment, #discussions on #regeneration and #movements

A picture of the speaker looking into the distance is shown on a rainbow background, along with the speaker’s name, Jasmine Isa Quireshi, and pronouns (they/she). The talk title “Queering ecology: Reimagining our relationship with ecology” is shown below a rainbow dotted line

By way of an #introduction, in overlappy chronological order
1. Got a PhD for a cross-disciplinary thesis on museums as a site for informal dialogic learning. #PauloFreire #history #heritage #culture #reimagining
2. Raised a lovely human as a sole parent.
3. Thought deeply about the magic of similitude in #systems – see sembl.net – and learned a lot including that (a) I’m a hopeless business-person and (b) Indigenous people have relational-thinking capacities that the rest of us need.
4. Worked for 15 years in national cultural institutions trying to make collections more accessible and usable. Came away feeling that those places are small-minded and elitist. Maybe the notion of a ‘national institution’ is oxymoronic.
5. Working for 6 years in the realm of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporations gave me a sense of how it might feel to work *for* one of those corporations – so now I’m in the process of uprooting to do that. #adventure
