Reimagining Planetary Health: Critical Posthumanism's Role in Environmental Justice: Critical Posthumanism's Role in Environmental Justice

PhD student and Assistant Teaching Professor Lesley Hodge presents critical posthumanism as a theoretical framework for promoting environmental justice and planetary health in nursing. Through theoretical analysis and powerful imagery, Hodge explores how this perspective reshapes our understanding of human-environment relationships in healthcare settings and beyond. Practical examples in the presentation demonstrate how critical posthumanism can inform nursing approaches to environmental challenges while acknowledging the framework's possibilities and limitations.
