Podcast appearances and mentions of Dale Jamieson

In this thought-provoking interview, Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at NYY, talks about the importance of environmental justice and discusses his recent thinking on the metaphysical challenges of climate change --the way a rapidly changing world unmoored from the traditional sources of meaning in our lives. He also explores the way that climate change interacts with our political institutions, with their inherent short-termism. At the heart of this discussion, Dale highlights the fundamental challenges that any person faces in life today, wherever they live, are: how should I live? How do I how do I go forward? This interview was first aired in March 2021. Dale Jamieson is Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at NYU, he also serves as a faculty affiliate for the NYU School of Law and as director of NYU's Animal Studies Initiative. Dale is a scholar of environmental ethics and animal rights, and an analyst of climate change discourse-he is an author and editor of various books including Reason in a Dark Time: Why the Struggle Against Climate Change Failed -- and What It Means for Our Future   

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing the Launch of the NYU Wild Animal Welfare Program, published by Sofia Fogel on January 9, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the NYU Wild Animal Welfare Program later this month! The NYU Wild Animal Welfare (WAW) program aims to advance understanding about what wild animals are like, how humans and wild animals interact, and how humans can improve our interactions with wild animals at scale. We pursue this goal through foundational research in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, as well as through outreach to academics, advocates, policymakers, and the general public. The team includes Becca Franks and Jeff Sebo as co-directors, me (Sofia) as coordinator, and Arthur Caplan, Lucius Caviola, Kyle Ferguson, Jennifer Jacquet, Dale Jamieson, Colin Jerolmack, Sonali McDermid, Danielle Spiegel-Feld, Christine Webb, and others as faculty affiliates. The program will launch on January 27, 2023 with a roundtable discussion titled "How can humans improve our interactions with wild animals at scale?" The panel will include program directors Becca Franks and Jeff Sebo and program affiliates Christine Webb, Colin Jerolmack, and Dale Jamieson. The discussion will cover an array of topics including: Why does wild animal welfare matter more than ever? What are the most urgent and actionable issues confronting wild animals? How does wild animal welfare relate to conservation biology and other fields? We will also have plenty of time for discussion with the audience. We welcome you to join us in person or online. We will soon be announcing additional spring events as well as opportunities for early-career researchers. If you are interested in receiving occasional updates about our work and offerings, we encourage you to sign up for our email list. Please also feel free to contact us with other inquiries. This launch follows on the heels of our October 2022 launch of the NYU Mind, Ethics, and Policy Program, which may also be of interest to readers of this post. Thanks for listening.

On this episode of Free Range, Mike Livermore speaks with Dale Jamieson, a Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at New York University. His most recent book, Discerning Experts, was published in 2019 by the University of Chicago Press. The discussion begins with an examination of the tension between animal welfare and environmental ethics. Jamieson traces this tension back to the origins of environmental advocacy and the development of environmental law. This tension is best exemplified by the idea that animals often cause suffering to other animals, yet it is widely accepted that humans should not intervene to prevent the suffering of a gazelle when it has been caught by a lion. This leads to a discussion of the action-inaction dichotomy — the idea that letting something occur is not as bad as causing the same thing to occur — and a broader consideration of what the study of ethics involves, what its aims are, and why we engage with it. (:49 – 16:09) Expanding on the concept of human intervention in nature, Professor Livermore asks whether our ability to effectively intervene has gone beyond the limits of our ethical comprehension. Professor Jamieson suggests that what has actually occurred is that humanity now undervalues the importance of small actions while overestimating the significance of large actions, before touching on how this attitude has affected public policy regarding not only the environment but, more generally, individual moral responsibility. Jamieson points out that the consensus-based view of government that characterized the era in which environmental policy was developed no longer applies to the climate change conversation. (16:11 – 32:05) This expands to a question of the role of cosmopolitanism in environmental policy, and the process of translating societal values into policy. After discussing the relationship between values consensus and technocratic governance, Jamieson points out the poor quality of current democratic discourse and the potential for public deliberation to address values conflict. Using the example of the Senate filibuster, Livermore raises the concern that in deliberative institutions, those acting in good faith are often manipulated and subsumed by those acting in bad faith. Jamieson raises questions about the interaction of participation, politics, and successful governance in democracies and authoritarian regimes. (32:10 – 49:36) Relating this to the concept of unforeseen consequences, Livermore points out that advances in technology have, it would appear, empowered authoritarian regimes while simultaneously weakening democratic societies. Jamieson connects this to some of his recent work, which examines the shifting nature of regulation in the wake of so many different industries moving online. Jamieson and Livermore then discuss the role of the state and perceptions about the ability of the state to address pressing social concerns like climate change. (49:40 – 1:01:47) The conversation ends with a brief examination of Elon Musk's attempt to purchase Twitter, before Jamieson concludes with an anecdote about what he hopes for in the future. (1:01:52 – 1:05:45) Professor Michael Livermore is the Edward F. Howrey Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. He is also the Director of the Program in Law, Communities and the Environment (PLACE), an interdisciplinary program based at UVA Law that examines the intersection of legal, environmental, and social concerns.

Dale discusses his recent thinking on the metaphysical challenges of climate change --the way a rapidly changing world unmoored from the traditional sources of meaning in our lives. He also explores the way that climate change interacts with our political institutions, with their inherent short-termism--and distinguishes between what he sees as the broad values of capitalism, when he was growing up, and what he calls today's crony capitalism. At the heart of this discussion, Dale highlights the fundamental challenges that any person faces in life today, wherever they live, are: how should I live? How do I how do I go forward?

Led by Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg, a generation of young people are ready for swift and commensurate action on climate change. Are their parents and grandparents morally obligated to listen? Philosopher Dale Jamison explains the morality of fighting for our lives when we are not directly impacted. In conversation with Uli Baer, Dale Jamieson details a new way of thinking about climate change. When leaders and activists call Climate Change an “existential threat” what does that in fact mean? Climate Change while rooted in science is first a political problem, a philosophical problem and at its core a moral problem. Dale Jamieson is a professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at NYU School of Law. Jamieson is not a scientist himself, but early on he found himself surrounded by alarmed scientists. "Falling in with climate monitors is like falling in with people who do Tai-Chi,” he says. Convinced of the totality of climate change, Jamieson addresses the threat with the lens of a philosopher. Climate change is a recognition that rationalism is, in fact, not the guiding principle of international politics; it is both a threat and a contributor to our identity. Jamieson explores this in his newest book Discerning Experts. In the quest to address Climate Change, Jamieson calls for moral solutions. It will be the job of storytellers and connectors to address the threat. “It’s a matter of sincerity” (39:46). In a world where irony is lauded, and value systems are chastised, how can we battle climate change? As Jamieson says “We are eventually going to die, but hopefully not from some stupidity we engage in” (44:57).

Dale Jamieson is a Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at NYU, as well as Chair of the Environmental Studies Department. He is also Affiliated Professor of Law at NYU Law, and the Director of the Animal Studies Initiative. In his 2014 book, "Reason in a Dark Time: Why The Struggle Against Climate Change Failed and What it Means for our Future," Jamieson argues that climate change fundamentally challenges the ‘commonsense morality’ that we evolved, and thus requires that we expand our ethical imaginations to deal with this unprecedented problem. Most recently, he co-wrote a book of fictional short stories with Bonnie Nadzam in 2015 called "Love in the Anthropocence."

This episode of Knowing Animals comes to you from New York University. I am joined by Professor Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at New York University. We discuss the chapter on zoos from his 2003 book Morality’s Progress: essays on humans, other animals, and the rest of nature. This episode is brought to you by AASA. The Australasian Animal Studies Association's conference is coming up very soon. Have you registered yet?

Professor Dale Jamieson debunks the myth that 'going green' will stop global warming.

It's Dominic's birthday and he'll cry if he wants to. Your co-hosts first talk green virtue and anthropocenic temperance and Cymene's childhood close encounter with a tiger. We then (9:02) welcome to the podcast a very distinguished guest, Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at New York University and author of Reason in a Dark Time (Oxford University Press, 2014). We talk at length about his moving collaborative project with novelist Bonnie Nadzam (author of Lamb and Lions) and their recently published collection, Love in the Anthropocene (http://www.orbooks.com/catalog/love-in-the-anthropocene-by-jamieson-and-nadzam/). Dale posits love as the antithesis of narcissism and describes why contact with the real is so much more important than enveloping ourselves in fantasy. We talk hierarchy and class and why the Anthropocene will be better for some than for others. Yet, Dale emphasizes the newness of our present situation and says we should spend more time thinking and trying to understand our problems and less time relying on familiar categories and chasing solutions. Tracking back to Dale's earlier work, we touch on the virtues, our need to recover agency, why we should tax email, and the intergenerational ethics of climate change. Then we turn to his current research on how the Anthropocene has challenged the categories and practices of liberalism, eroding both our traditional agency presupposition and public/private distinctions. The point being that we really don't know how to govern in the Anthropocene—and, maybe we didn't in the Holocene either! But in any case we live in a time in need of a great deal of political experimentation. We close with how surfing brought Dale to Environmental Studies and why philosophy matters in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Do you think we have too much populism and not enough democracy? Listen on!

How are we to think and live with climate change? In Reason in a Dark Time: Why the Struggle Against Climate Change Failed – and What It Means for Our Future (Oxford University Press, 2014), Dale Jamieson (Environmental Studies and Philosophy, NYU) grapples with these questions. The book is a pragmatic philosophical exploration of climate change and the human response to it at the same time that it provides a clear scientific, conceptual, and economic history of the issues involved. Ultimately, the book asks how to “live in productive relationship with the dynamic systems that govern a changing planet” (180). Our conversation covers the obstacles to action on climate change, competing economic approaches to addressing climate change, the needed ethical and moral resources, a reflection on the 2015 Paris talks, and more.

Fiction writer Bonnie Nadzam and environmental philosopher, Dale Jamieson, worked together to write Love in the Anthropocene, a collection of five short stories that describe a very near future in which nature as we know it no longer exists.  

'How should we live?' is a basic philosophical question. In this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast Dale Jamieson addresses the question in a period when human beings are having devastating effects on the environment. Which virtues should we cultivate in these conditions?

Leopoldian Philosophy and Ethics. A Round Table discussion with Q and A moderated by Stephen Kellert, Professor of Social Ecology at Yale FES. Discussants: Peter Brown, Baird Callicott, John Grim, Dale Jamieson and Sylvia Hood Washington. The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies hosted a Symposium on April 3rd, 2009 honoring the centennial of the graduation of Aldo Leopold from the school and his acclaimed contributions to environmental conservation. Leopold became a leading and radical voice in American conservation, launching his land ethic in his celebrated book, “A Sand County Almanac.” The day-long symposium appraised the Leopold legacy, examined his relevance today, and explored how his land ethic might be reformulated for the global environmental and social challenges of the 21st century. This is a recording of Round Table 3: Leopoldian Philosophy and Ethics: In and Beyond the Academy. Gus Speth, retiring Dean of the school, introduced the moderator, Stephen Kellert, Tweedy/Ordway Professor of Social Ecology at Yale FES. The Round Table then proceeded to brief presentations by: Peter Brown, a Professor of Environmental Studies at McGill University; Baird Callicott, Regents Professor of Philosophy and Religion Studies, Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies, University of North Texas; John Grim, Senior Lecturer and Research Scholar at Yale University in the area of religion and ecology; Dale Jamieson, a philosopher and Director of Environmental Studies at New York University; Gene Likens, an ecologist and founding director of the Institute for Ecosystem Studies; and Sylvia Hood Washington, Research Associate Professor, University of Illinois, Chicago. The formal remarks were followed by a Q and A session.
