Environmental Law Discussion Group
Environmental Impact, Knowledge Controversies, and Political Situations
Speaker: Professor Andrew Barry, School of Geography and the Environment, Oxford
Venue: Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment Seminar Room
In this paper, Professor Barry interrogates both the idea of environmental impact and the performance of Environmental Impact Assessment. The paper develops two sets of arguments. One revolves around the performativity and impact of Environmental Impact Assessment itself. The other revolves around the relation between Environmental Impact Assessment and the emergence of knowledge controversies about environmental impacts. He also proposes an account of the political situations in relation to which knowledge controversies concerning environmental impacts have significance.
