TENTANG EPISODE INI
What are the limits of the utilitarian approach to studying the environment? How do we go beyond Western philosophies in our thinking around the environment? Can Western and Non-Western approaches work together? And why is it imperative that we expand our political imagination?
In this episode of Sustainability Matters, Dr. Aleksandra Ross and Dr. Krzysztof Skonieczny talk about the importance of looking at ecological challenges from pluralistic, culturally diverse perspectives and discuss ways in which non-Western styles of thought help us not only understand the problem better, but also find solutions. This episode is based on their book Non-Western Approaches in Environmental Humanities, published by De Gruyter Brill, of which they’re co-editors alongside Dr. Gabriela Jarzębowska.
Host: Ramzi Nasir
Guests: Dr. Aleksandra Ross and Dr. Krzysztof Skonieczny
