Integrating Antimicrobial and Environmental Stewardship Through an Urban Political Ecology Lens

Antimicrobial resistance, pandemics, biodiversity loss, and climate change pose simultaneous existential threats, yet coordinated responses that jointly address them through a One Health approach do not exist. An urban political ecology (UPE) lens informs a critical analysis of the governance of antimicrobial stewardship (AMR) by situating AMR risks in relation to global governance and economic forces that shape the social and political co-determinants of antimicrobial and other systemic existential threats already confronted in broader commitments to pandemic prevention and environmental stewardship.

In this seminar, Raphael will discuss how UPE scholarship can contribute to efforts to address AMR. He will present a guiding framework that focuses on rescaling socio-ecological governance approaches to addressing AMR by considering societal relations with nature that affect AMR at the human-animal-environmental interface.
