 The theme of this year's Land Act conference asks us to consider the role of crisis in land and climate and COVID. And in the two parallel roundtable sessions on the politics of crisis framing, we're going to consider what this concept of crisis does in and of itself. When we make reference to something being a crisis, what kinds of politics is made possible by this reference, and what kinds of politics are then made impossible in reference to this frame? In the first roundtable session, we will be looking at this question of the politics of crisis framing within three particular contexts. And in the second roundtable session, we're zooming out to think about what are the broader historical and structural inequalities that get obscured when we make reference to something being a crisis? How does this solve problems in an acute rather than a systemic way to address the root causes of some of these structural inequalities and marginalities? I hope that you'll join us for these two roundtable sessions on the 1st of July in Parallel Session 1 and 2. My name is Caitlin Ryan and I'm an assistant professor at the University of Shemmigan.
