Abstract

What happens when scientists become activists? In this paper, we discuss the principles, commitments and experiences of Scientist Rebellion (SR), a movement of scientists, academics, and researchers committed to activism, advocacy and non-violent civil disobedience against the (in)actions of governments, corporations and other institutions, including academic ones. In sharing experiences from the frontlines of direct actions with SR along with the perspectives from individual scientists, coming from a variety of geographical locations, and a range of academic levels and disciplines, we reflect on the need to transgress the boundaries of a system of knowledge production and education that is effectively reproducing the very structures that have led us into climate and ecological crises. This article provides a reflective and critical engagement with Scientist Rebellion, drawing on a range of interviews with activists, as well as material from and about Scientist Rebellion. We conclude with a reflection on the relation between scientists and their institutions, as well as a mobilizing plea to the scientific community to take action.

“超越末日分析师”:站在气候行动前线的科学家
当科学家成为活动家会发生什么?在本文中,我们讨论了科学家叛乱(SR)的原则、承诺和经验,这是一个由科学家、学者和研究人员组成的运动,致力于行动主义、倡导和非暴力的公民不服从,反对政府、公司和其他机构(包括学术机构)的行为。在与社会科学博士分享直接行动前线的经验,以及来自不同地理位置、不同学术水平和学科的科学家个人的观点时,我们反思了超越知识生产和教育体系边界的必要性,这种体系正在有效地复制导致我们陷入气候和生态危机的结构。本文通过对活动人士的一系列采访,以及来自科学家叛乱的材料,对科学家叛乱进行了反思和批判性的参与。最后,我们反思了科学家和他们的机构之间的关系,并呼吁科学界采取行动。
