Episode VIII - Decolonising Environmentalism 💡 https://lnkd.in/eRFzjYjm In this episode, we tackle the complex and often hypocritical landscape of global environmentalism through a decolonial lens. We scrutinize the actions of the corporations and governments in the Global North that profess to champion green initiatives while engaging in environmentally destructive practices both domestically and abroad. This dissonance not only undermines genuine sustainability efforts but also perpetuates environmental racism and systemic inequities. Our conversation also sheds light on the pervasive issue of environmental racism, examining how communities of colour and Indigenous people are often situated in areas with higher levels of pollution and fewer environmental protections. We explore the historical and ongoing injustices that have led to these disparities and discuss the urgent need for systemic change. Join us as we hear from Avijit Michael, Shweta Narayan, and Alison Parker- environmental justice advocates, community leaders, and scholars- who are working to decolonise environmentalism. They share insights and strategies for creating an equitable and truly sustainable future, one that holds the powerful accountable and uplifts the voices of those most affected by environmental degradation.

Episode VII - Decolonising Climate Change https://lnkd.in/e47meQGV In this episode, we delve into the pressing need to decolonise climate change policy, focusing on the pivotal role of historical emissions by the Global North and the critical importance of equitable solutions for the Global South. Our discussion highlights the disproportionate responsibility borne by industrialised nations for the current climate crisis and explored how their legacy of emissions has exacerbated vulnerabilities in less developed regions.

Episode V Part 1- Decolonising Aid, out now! In the first part of the conversation on decolonising aid, our guests, Lata Narayanaswamy and Raman VR, represent academia, practice, lived experiences, and leadership in the aid sector. In our conversation, they interrogate whether it is possible to talk about decolonising the aid sector when aid is largely based on the continuation of a colonial mindset and colonial practices. Unless we really address the power relations between donors and recipients, can we even consider that it is possible to decolonise aid? Listen to our podcasters engage in intriguing conversations with our guests. 🎧 Exclusively on Spotify! 🎧 Join us on the journey to decolonise minds https://lnkd.in/ex6dY68v Follow for more updates!

Episode Four is live💡 https://lnkd.in/eXb8SFtg In this episode, we discuss the process of decolonising academic research and understanding the ways inequity manifests between researchers. We have J'Anna-Mare Lue, lead author of the paper "Principles of increasing equity in WASH research: understanding barriers faced by LMIC WASH researchers", Tamara Megaw, co-author of the report "Authorship and recognition in knowledge production in water sanitation and hygiene (WASH): A guidance note", and Linda Ndiweni, a water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) researcher and lecturer from the National University of Science and Technology, Zimbabwe. Lais Freitas Moreira dos Santos and the guests have a very honest conversation about what it entails to perform decolonial research within persisting colonial academic structures.

Our distinguished panel features Yadhurshini Raveendran, David McCoy, Viviana Olivetto, Sarah Brittingham, Doreen Tuhebwe and Michelle Amri, each bringing unique perspectives and expertise to this critical discourse.
