Title: "Racialized Capitalism and Intersectional Injustices in Times of War: A view from European Semi-Peripheries"

The context of pandemia and war, the multiplication of socio-ecological conflicts visibilize a more neglected problem in scholar-activism, that is social housing. This talk addresses housing and environmental injustice as interconnected products of racial capitalism, created through subordination of people's lives and needs to the interests of capital accumulation. Classism, racism and patriarchal ideologies are on the rise and manifest themselves through denial of adequate socio-economic conditions, exploitation and expropriation of labor and various forms of dispossession. Looking at the situation of Roma communities in Romania after 1990, the talk proposed a broader discussions on the structural conditions of injustice and possibilities for intersectional transnational solidarity networking.
