EJIS annual lecture – Ecological security: climate change and the construction of security – Matt McDonald

The Centre for Global Security Challenges (CGSC) at the University of Leeds is delighted to welcome Dr Matt McDonald (University of Queensland) to give the first annual lecture of our journal European Journal of International Security (EJIS).

Matt will present findings from his new book on ecological security and climate change, hot on the heels of COP26. Matt’s work has long been known for its contributions to critical security theory and his latest research tackles arguably the world’s foremost global security challenge. This work speaks to university-wide research themes on climate (e.g. ICAS and the Priestley Centre) as well as CGSC’s environmental security research theme. Both EJIS and Matt’s book are published by Cambridge University Press. Around COP26, and ahead of this talk, CUP have made the introduction to Matt’s book free to read until December.

Registration is not necessary but you can find further information about the event on the University of Leeds website.
