About this speaker
Délon Alain Omrow's research and teaching focus on eco-violence, green criminology, racialized ecologies; debt-for-nature swaps; and the androcentric and anthropocentric symbiosis of trauma on Indigenous bodies and land.
He is published in many academic journals including The Journal of Philosophy and Culture, Nature Sustainability, Journal of Media and Communication Studies and European Journal of Research in Social Sciences. His recent book with Dr. Peter Stoett, Dean of the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities at Ontario Tech University, explored the links between transnational environmental crime, biosecurity and human security, preparing students of criminology to unpack and interrogate the political economic explanations of crime. In a forthcoming book with Dr. Peter Stoett, he explores the intersections of ecoviolence and the (super)exploitation of human beings. Such intersections have led him to explore the role of artificial intelligence in the mitigation (or acceleration) of this form of exploitation – especially as a result of climate change.
