Cecelia Lynch, a Professor of Political Science at the University of California, is a leading thinker on the importance of inclusion as a catalyst for promoting sustainable, peaceful, social transformations. The idea is that inclusion should not just be limited to nation states but should from the outset involve those directly impacted by conflicts, so that they play a leading role in the resolution process. Radical inclusion broadens participation to include marginalized groups like local communities, women, and non-state actors. It also involves local communities and their unique forms of knowledge in the stewardship of environmental protection, peace building initiatives and conflict resolution, and the design of strategies aimed at improving the livelihoods of marginalized groups around the world. A peace and prosperous world are an impossible achievement if it does not include the voices of the voiceless. Learn more on GlobalGovernanceForum.org

Theranos, Medical Devices, and Indigenous Knowledge on Climate Change ft. Kyle Powys Whyte
I would say that while there's absolutely no question that we're in a crisis, there's no question about multi crisis. I'm not sure we're in the state of collapse. And I think that methodology, that vision, that understanding of the world can lead to... You were talking about it a few minutes ago, doom scrolling and just doom. I find that that can create a lot of inertia in people, a lot of hopelessness and pessimism. I have a colleague in the US, Arlene Goldbard, and she's quoting (Antonio) Gramsci and she says, ‘pessimism of the intellect, but optimism of the will' and I like that shorthand way of thinking. My conversation with artist, writer, and cultural critic Chris Creighton-Kelly on September 24th, 2024 in Sidney, British Columbia, which is on the traditional, unceded territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ People. Chris is among others things, is co-director, along with artist France Trépanier of Primary Colours – Couleurs primaires. I've condensed a long and rich conversation with Chris down to this new ‘fifteen' minute format. You'll hear highlights from our exchange about the role of art in times of crisis, the importance of listening to Indigenous peoples, generative discomfort and more…Episode notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsExplore the diverse roles art can play during crises, moving beyond propaganda to prompt meaningful questions.Embrace ‘generative discomfort' as a tool for self-awareness and understanding one's positionality in history.Prioritize listening to and learning from indigenous knowledge to enrich environmental movements.Recognize the importance of inspiration, defiance, and imagination as motivators, rather than guilt and blame.Consider how global narratives of human migration intersect with traditional, place-based Indigenous knowledge.Story PreviewWhat role does art play when the world feels like it's teetering on the edge? Chris Creighton Kelly challenges us to move beyond simple answers and propaganda, urging us to find inspiration in discomfort and listen to the wisdom of those who have stewarded the earth for millennia.Chapter Summary00:00 The Crisis of Our Times01:55 The Role of Art in Crisis03:50 Art as a Catalyst for Change07:15 Generative Discomfort in Art08:37 Indigenous Knowledge and Environmentalism11:13 Migration and Traditional KnowledgeFeatured QuotesArt is best when it doesn't give answers but rather prompts questions.This idea of confronting your positionality, or maybe even confronting is the wrong word, but becoming aware of your positionality…means knowing your place in history.One of the most unexamined resources of how to save this planet is to listen to Indigenous people.Behind the StoryIn a world grappling with climate change, social inequities, and mass migration, Chris Creighton-Kelly seeks to understand how art can foster awareness and action. He challenges the Western-centric view of environmentalism, advocating for the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge and a deeper understanding of our place in history. The conversation delves into the complexities of motivation, suggesting that inspiration and imagination are more powerful drivers than guilt and blame. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Modernity is dying within and around us, and we need to face that death with courage and compassion. Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, author of Hospicing Modernity, joins us. Highlights include: How her mixed Indigenous and German heritage in Brazil exposed her to a complex mix of love and violence, deepening her understanding of how socialization and education can perpetuate harmful relationships; Why the ‘house of modernity', which is built on a foundation of humanity's separation from the rest of nature, is structured to ultimately fail; Why we need to ‘hospice modernity' both within and around us, without feeling overwhelmed or rushing for quick fixes, while making space for something much larger to emerge; Why we need to compost the ‘pedestal' sense of agency from modernity and its elevated sense of certainty and subject-object relationships and embrace a more intersubjective mycelial sense of agency; Why ‘outgrowing modernity' will require us to prepare for a ‘well-died death' and a greater sense of emotional sobriety, relational maturity, intellectual discernment, and interspecies and intergenerational responsibility. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript: https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/vanessa-andreotti OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.

This week's episode of then & now is part of a series co-sponsored by the L.A. History Collaborative, in which we examine the effects of the devastating Los Angeles Wildfires in early 2025. Dr. Daisy Ocampo Diaz joins LCHP Assistant Director Dr. Rose Campbell to discuss the Fowler Museum's exhibition Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art, one of the exhibitions associated with the Pacific Standard Time (PST) Art Initiative. The L.A. Wildfires highlighted the urgent need for effective fire management and risk mitigation strategies in the era of climate change. Rarely featured in such discussions, however, are the traditional landscape management methods, such as controlled burns, practiced by many Indigenous communities in North America before European colonization. As head curator of the Fire Kinship exhibition, Daisy underscores the vital role of fire as a regenerative force and explains how a legacy of colonial fire suppression tactics has exacerbated the effects of wildfires in the absence of sustainable landscape management practices. With more frequent and devastating natural disasters intensified by climate change, Daisy asserts that the best way forward is the integration of Indigenous knowledge into large-scale landscape management practices.The Fire Kinship exhibition is on display at the Fowler Museum at UCLA through July 13, 2025. Read more about the exhibition here. Admission to the Fowler Museum is always free!Dr. Daisy Ocampo (Caxcan, or Caz' Ahmo, Indigenous Nation of Zacatecas, Mexico) earned her PhD in History from the University of California, Riverside in 2019.

The algorithm was just right not too long ago that I happened upon Seb Jagoe's Instagram reel and became obsessed with his excitement and vast knowledge about soil and growing. It's always a little nerve wracking to reach out cold to a stranger, but this time, at least, Seb was just so gracious to talk with me and share this message. I've had many conversations about soil health on the podcast, but Seb's energy alone is exciting, and different. He talks about the history of soil health, and also when he first started talking about soil. We also discuss the importance of taking care of our soil; how it's not a thing - it's a process. He talks a. lot about Indigenous Knowledge, and food forests, and how the white men took food forests over from the Native Americans and depleted them with so many of our current practices (weed and pest control, monocropping, to name a couple).He has big plans to educate as many people as possible through his social media videos to share his passion for nutrient dense foods and attracting pollinators - all without fertilizers and pest control - because healthy soil and plants will ward off pests naturally!Seb asks that we consider quality over convenience whenever possible. The waste from overconsumption and cheap junk is poisoning our water and soil currently. He said when asked what the word sustainability means to him that sustainability isn't good enough - and he's not wrong! Who wants things to continue as they are, after all? Don't we want better? If not for ourselves, for the next generation? What an enlightening conversation! Listen here!

We face a variety of critical issues these days that all seem to be culminating at one big crossroads, and the interconnection of them all can make it very difficult to find a way to move forward in a progressive, ethical and decolonial way to create a better future. So how the heck do we do just that? I was joined by Rande Cook and Mark Worthing, two members of Awi'nakola, at their annual Tree of Life Gathering to learn about the values they embody as an NGO and how that determines their methodology and actions in the world. As many larger organisations, businesses and goverments frantically search for quick-fix 'profitable' solutions to these issues, the wholistic grassroots approach taken by Awi'nakola sure is refreshing to see, and may actually be the key to the change we all really need. To learn more about Awi'nakola, visit them at https://awinakola.com/ or @_treeoflife on Instagram.
