Greenpeace in the Arctic: Navigating Moral Legitimacy, Nonviolence and the Legacy of the Anti-Sealing Movement
This presentation introduces my IASH Northern Scholars Visiting Research Fellowship project on Greenpeace in the Arctic in the 21st century. The project explores the implications of environmental activism legacies on perceptions of an organisation’s moral legitimacy, focusing on Greenpeace and the interplay between its relationship with the philosophy of nonviolence and its central role in the early years of the anti-sealing movement between 1976 and 1986. This project speaks to a wider issue of activism accountability, interpretations of nonviolence and cultural violence.
