This workshop is a two-part lecture and discussion series addressing urgent issues in space and how they relate to Earth. What does ethics mean in the context of space? Is it possible to explore space ethically? How do military interests drive Mars exploration? Led by multi-disciplinary researchers and organizers Dr. C. Adeene Denton and Dr. Divya M. Persaud, this series will provide an overview of how space is grounded in real-world oppression, colonialism, and genocide and a chance to discuss together how this could be changed.

Dr. C. Adeene Denton is a scientist and historian who studies the evolution of ocean worlds and the history of space exploration. She is an avid astrohumanist focused on approaching future planetary exploration from a scientific and humanistic perspective, and is the co-founder of the Ethics and Human Rights in the Space Sector project group for the Space Generation Advisory Council. 

Dr. Divya M. Persaud is a planetary geologist, multi-disciplinary researcher, writer, and artist. Her research focuses both on using planetary imaging to study sediments in the solar system, and the political economy of the space industry and its relationship with the arms trade. She has spoken internationally about colonialism and space, and her work was recently published with the Palestine Space Institute.
