Capitalism and Dispossession: Corporate Canada at Home and Abroad [video]

Sorowako, Indonesia, is the site of a nickel mining and smelting operation formerly owned by Inco, a Canadian mining giant that was purchased by the Brazilian multinational Vale in 2006. The massive smelter complex is pictured in a presentation by author and activist Tracy Glynn.

On June 1, authors of chapters in the new book, Capitalism and Dispossession: Corporate Canada at Home and Abroad, discussed Canadian mining in Burkina Faso and Indonesia as well as Canadian banking in the Western Hemisphere and how corporate Canada influences the academic discussion of Canadian foreign policy.

The panel is now available for viewing here:

The panelists:

Nadège Compaoré is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Toronto. Her current research is concerned with claims of sovereignty by states and communities affected by natural resource extraction in Africa.

Sakura Saunders is a mining justice organiser based in Halifax. She is an editor at ProtestBarrick.net, that serves as a portal to groups researching and organising around mining issues, particularly involving mining company Barrick Gold.

Tracy Glynn is an activist-scholar based in Fredericton. Her work focuses on supporting communities affected by resource extraction, migration and border policies, and inadequate health care access. She teaches at St. Thomas University and the University of New Brunswick.

Jen Moore has been researching, writing and collaborating closely with the struggles of mining-affected communities and allied organizations in Latin America, Canada and other parts of the world for over a decade. From 2010 to 2018, she coordinated the Latin America Program at MiningWatch Canada.

The event was hosted by the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, Canadian Dimension, Fernwood Publishing and MiningWatch Canada.
