Is Critical Naturalism Necessary?
No full textThe prior issue of Krisis (42:1) published Critical Naturalism: A Manifesto, with the aim to instigate a debate of the issues raised in this manifesto – the necessary re-thinking of the role (and the concept) of nature in critical theory in relation to questions of ecology, health, and inequality. Since Krisis considers itself a place for philosophical debates that take contemporary struggles as starting point, it issued an open call and solicited responses to the manifesto. This is one of the sixteen selected responses, which augment, specify, or question the assumptions and arguments of the manifesto.The prior issue of Krisis (42:1) published Critical Naturalism: A Manifesto, with the aim to instigate a debate of the issues raised in this manifesto – the necessary re-thinking of the role (and the concept) of nature in critical theory in relation to questions of ecology, health, and inequality.

The Five Pillars of Urban Environmental Justice: A Framework for Building Equitable Cities
No full textCities face unprecedented challenges in the 21st century, as this age is marked by drastic economic, environmental, and cultural shifts. These issues push stakeholder groups to leverage land use and design in ways aimed at mitigating harms. City planning commissions are tasked with developing and implementing these plans. But not all community changes are equitable, thus it is important to consider potential social impacts. In fact, environmental injustices are often prompted by failures to enforce zoning or failures to properly plan. Thus, we need to guard against creating “downstream” harms when making land-use changes. The aim of this essay is to provide an equity grounded framework to help identify potential harms during the planning process. Drawing from environmental justice literature, we identify five common types of equity focused land use concerns that should be considered when striving for equitable land use and design. These are 1) Environmental Health; 2) Essential Amenities Access; 3) Transportation; 4) Housing Opportunity & Displacement; and 5) Equitable Economic Development. They make up the Urban Justice Framework, a tool designed to guide equity focused discussions during the planning process. Preventative measures at the city planning stage could protect citizens from future injustices, thus contributing to equity in urban areas
Van bezorgde zussen tot waardevolle buddy’s. Het informele informatiecircuit tijdens de aidsepidemie in Vlaanderen en Brussel
No full textNiet alleen officiële en medische netwerken bleken belangrijk in de circulatie van informatie tijdens de aidsepidemie. De historische getuigen waarmee Ellen Van Laer in het kader van haar scriptie in gesprek ging benadrukten ook het belang van meer informele netwerken zoals familie, vrienden en lotgenoten. Op die netwerken, hun geschiedenis, de ervaringen ermee en herinneringen eraan gaat dit artikel dieper in
