SUMMARY:Bridget Bradley (St Andrews): Affect and Activism in the context 
 of Ecological Anxiety: Towards a militant sentient anthropology

DESCRIPTION:Academic\, public and political interest in eco-anxiety is st
 eadily growing across the globe\, and yet anthropology’s contribution to
  debates on the topic has been surprisingly slow. This paper responds to
  urgent and timely discussions relating to the emotional and social resp
 onses to ecological breakdown\, by examining the lived experiences of ec
 o-anxiety for people and their families living in Britain. Based on a di
 gital\, patchwork ethnography conducted during the Covid-19 lockdown\, t
 his research contributes to scholarship on affective activism within ant
 hropology and feminist theory. Through ethnographic and autoethnographic
  reflections I introduce the idea of a "militant sentient anthropology" 
 to show how research and teaching with eco-anxiety reveals the urgency o
 f anthropological theories\, methodologies and pedagogies that centre we
 llbeing and social justice in times of crisis.
