I, your host Janis Geary, talk with a wide range of experts about one thing they share: They’ve written about how “The Tragedy of the Commons” applies to governing shared resources. I’m your host, Janis Geary. I’ve studied how we create and manage shared resources to support science for almost a decade, and I’ve always been fascinated by the persistence of Garrett Hardin’s 1968 essay in modern work. So, I’ve combed through the literally 10s of thousands of papers that reference, represent, revere or revile Hardin’s work to bring to you conversations about “The Tragedy of the Commons” from leading experts who are writing about it today. Join me for interviews with researchers and scholars working on big problems in shared resource governance in medicine, sustainability, public health, science itself, and more.
