In this episode of Educator Yarns, Jess Staines speaks with Linda Wilson, a dedicated early childhood teacher at Sentia Early Learning in Melbourne CBD. Originally from Sweden, Linda shares how her childhood experiences exploring Swedish forests shaped her deep appreciation for nature as a teacher and guide. Now living and working on Wurundjeri Country, Linda beautifully intertwines her background in Nordic Forest pedagogy with Aboriginal perspectives in her teaching practice. Despite being based in Melbourne's urban centre, Linda has led her kindergarten children on more than 30 excursions to connect with Country, learn about local Aboriginal history, and develop meaningful relationships with the land. Her approach demonstrates how educators can follow children's natural curiosity to explore Aboriginal perspectives, even in city-based settings. Linda's journey from knowing very little about Aboriginal culture upon arriving in Australia to embedding it meaningfully in her practice offers valuable insights for educators seeking to deepen their understanding and approach to cultural connections. Key Takeaways: The Swedish approach to early childhood education emphasises consistent time in nature, with some kindergartens located entirely outdoors where children cook on open fires and engage with natural resources. Revisiting the same natural spaces repeatedly is crucial for deepening children's connection and learning, allowing them to move beyond initial excitement to more meaningful engagement. Linda's personal experience of spending days exploring Swedish forests as a child shaped her teaching philosophy and her belief that nature can provide a grounding, calming influence in our fast-paced society. Children's questions about their local environment (like "Who made the Yarra River?" and "Where does it flow?") can serve as powerful starting points for exploring Aboriginal perspectives and connections to Country. The Aboriginal 8 Ways of Learning framework, particularly the 'land links' approach, provides a valuable structure for educators wanting to connect teaching through culture rather than just about culture. Each year, Linda's program focuses on different aspects of Country based on the children's interests—from the Yarra River's history to food sources at Birrarung Marr to land caring at Port Phillip Bay. Despite challenges in maintaining ongoing relationships with local Aboriginal communities in urban settings, educators can access ethical resources like the mapping tool developed by Melbourne Council in collaboration with Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples. Children in urban settings can develop meaningful connections to Country through regular excursions that help them recognise the Aboriginal history and significance of familiar places. There is a natural synergy between nature-based pedagogies (like the Swedish forest school approach) and Aboriginal perspectives on connection to land that educators can draw upon in their practice. Stories such as that of Bunjil the Eagle become powerful tools for children to understand Creation stories and develop respect for Traditional Owners, even when learning occurs primarily in urban environments. Linda Wilson's journey from the forests of Sweden to teaching on Wurundjeri Country demonstrates how educators can weave together different cultural approaches to nature-based learning. By following children's natural curiosity, revisiting significant places, and drawing on ethical resources, educators can foster meaningful connections to Country even in urban settings. As you reflect on your own practice, consider how you might incorporate regular experiences on Country that allow children to develop deeper relationships with the land and greater understanding of Aboriginal perspectives. How might you use mapping tools and local resources to enhance your knowledge and confidence in embedding Aboriginal perspectives in your program? Access the episode resources here.

In this episode of Urban Nature, Sheila Jasanoff delves into the intricate relationship between science, society, and the natural world. She challenges the conventional view that science merely mirrors nature, arguing instead that scientific knowledge is shaped by human mediation, representation, and power dynamics. Through an exploration of how societal choices influence scientific practices and technological developments, Jasanoff urges a deeper examination of how science interacts not only with nature but also with the fabric of social order.

Dr. Tadhg MacIntyre, Professor of Environmental Psychology at Maynooth University, joins us in this episode. He talks to Daithí about the science behind how people relate to their environments, the relationship between human health and environmental health, and the fascinating ways in which this is influencing the design of our cities. It also has huge implications for achieving behaviour change for sustainability - the evidence shows that the more we are connected to an environment, the more we take action to protect it! They also touch on the fascinating area of "virtual nature", and how this may be deployed to support local environmental initiatives in the future.

If you've ever spent time living in a major city, you know finding nature takes a lot more intentionality than if you spend all of your time in a rural environment. You might even think about experiencing nature in a city as happening in spite of the concrete jungle, not because of it. But what if you flipped that on its head? What if you learned ways to appreciate nature because of the city it's in? That's something today's guest, Brittany Gowan, has become good at as part of her work coaching organizations and executives. With an industrial and organizational psychology master's degree, she works with her clients to lean on nature in and out of the city, a concept also shares in her new book “Turn to the Sun.” In this episode of Humans Outside Brittany talks about: Finding nature wherever you are The gifts of an outdoor habit in an urban environment How noticing nature can raise awareness for other things Listen now!

In this episode of Urban Nature, Eduardo Góes Neves and Gabriel Kozlowski discuss how archaeology can be a means to understand change in human–natural systems over long timescales. Neves elaborates on the connection between ancient Amazonian societies with large-scale transformations of the natural environment. He emphasizes that what see as pristine forests are, most of the times, anthropic landscapes and, therefore, new attention should be given to the historical human factor in forest settings, which has the power to offer us alternatives models for the development of tropical societies.

The UK is one of the world's most nature-depleted countries. According to a recent study, the annual State of Nature report, nearly one in six of more than ten thousand species assessed – that's 16 per cent – could be lost. Many key habitats for our nature are at risk, and this is a problem both for biodiversity but also for our ability to cope with the climate crisis. How can we protect and restore nature? And what role can technology play? In response to this challenge, the Natural History Museum and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have launched a groundbreaking partnership to develop an innovative new tool which brings together a broad range of UK biodiversity and environmental data types in one place in real time. This will help the Museum's scientists to build on scientific understanding of the UK's biodiversity and environment, and drive forward science-led nature recovery in the UK's urban spaces. In this special episode, The New Statesman's Chris Stone meets Doug Gurr, director of the Natural History Museum, and Hilary Tam, Principal for Sustainability Transformation at AWS to find out how the Data Ecosystem works and how they hope it might help reverse nature loss in Britain.

Bob Gilbert talks about the wonders of inner-city nature, the pleasure and inspiration to be drawn from observing and connecting with the everyday, and explores whether it's possible to feel as close to God in the ordinary streets of a city as in the natural world. Bob Gilbert is an urban naturalist, broadcaster, author and a long-standing campaigner for inner-city conservation. His book 'Ghost Trees: Nature and People in a London Parish' was longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. His latest book is 'The Missing Musk: A Casebook of Mysteries from the Natural World'.

In this episode, Gabriel Kozlowski and Tania Li discuss the concept of land and its inscription, colonization by plantation corporations, modes of distribution beyond the “proper job,” and ethnographic approaches to the practice of politics. Tania Li is a professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto. She's known for her studies concerning land, labor, capitalism, development, politics, and indigeneity with a particular focus on Indonesia. Her work crosses multiple fields like geography, planning, law, and environmental studies, while bringing different actors together from activists to policymakers to make sense of transformations brought about by processes such as land reform, rural class formation, struggles over forests and their conservation, state-organized resettlement initiatives, and problems faced by people who are pushed off their land. Her books include the award-winning Lands End, Capitalist Relations on an Indigenous Frontier, Plantation Life, written with Pujo Semedi, The Will to Improve, Governmentality, Development and the Practices of Politics, the edited volume of Powers of Exclusion, and many more. https://www.taniali.org/ Gabriel Kozlowski is a Brazilian architect and curator. He works on questions pertaining to urbanization from the perspective of political ecology. In Urban Nature, Kozlowski talks to prominent thinkers who have been pushing the boundaries of how we understand the relationship between humans and the natural environment.

In this episode of Urban Nature, Jason W. Moore and Gabriel Kozlowski discuss the concepts of nature, capitalism, and the web of life from the perspective of social construction, relations of power, and Modernity's dualism. Moore argues that one of the most fundamental problems of Western civilization, both intellectually and politically, is the splitting between society and nature; that this binary is a form of violence that generates conditions of inequality and oppression while maintaining the hegemonic structures intact.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of our modern lives, it is essential to pause and appreciate the vital role nature plays in our overall well-being. One element of nature that often goes unnoticed but holds tremendous significance is the tree canopy. Stretching overhead like an intricate living tapestry, the tree canopy provides numerous benefits, from environmental sustainability to mental and physical health improvements. And, tree canopies also make up Forests, which are an important part of any city, given that they provide several environmental benefits. Urban nature in all its forms — urban forests, parks, and greenbelts — provides a range of benefits and services to society, most of which are not readily bought and sold. Economists have tried to calculate the “use value” of nature and its environments, but it presents a complex economic puzzle as to how we can estimate values for the many indirect, intangible services and functions that urban nature provides, such as beauty, green infrastructure functions, and psychological benefits. The allure of nature spaces is undeniable. They offer a sanctuary where one can escape the cacophony of urban living and reconnect with the natural world. However, the encroachment of human development threatens to disrupt this delicate balance. Houses, roads, and farms have become ubiquitous features of our landscapes, often replacing the once-lush green spaces that harbored diverse ecosystems. But even in the midst of these structures, trees and tree canopies continue to exert their influence, reminding us of the coexistence between nature and human civilization. While houses, roads, and farms serve essential functions in our daily lives, they often lack the harmonious connection with nature that trees ant tree canopies effortlessly provide. Houses, with their solid walls and confined spaces, can sometimes feel isolated. In todays show, we delve into the captivating world of tree, forests, nature spaces and the stark contrast they create with man-made structures such as houses, roads, and farms. Host Bernice Butler talks with Rob McDonald, lead Scientist with the Nature Conservancy and Melanie Askay with Dane County Climate Action to explore and unpack some of this. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healthy-radio/support

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, Professor of Political Theory and Geography at the University of Warwick Stuart Elden and Gabriel Kozlowski talk about the intersections between people, place, and power, in relation to concepts such as territory, understood as a political technology, and terrain, as the physical materiality of territory. The discussion touches on Lefebvre's formulations on the rural, Foucault's notion of milieu, and ideas around a Politics of the Earth. “It's very easy to think that in the past the world was organized in a similar way it is today, except that the borders were different places and that there were different regimes within them.”  – Stuart Elden, Professor of Political Theory and Geography at University of Warwick A '74PODCAST Series, URBAN NATURE is hosted by Gabriel Kozlowski, Brazilian architect and curator working on urbanization from the perspective of political ecology. The Series presents guests from a diverse set of disciplines—including Anthropology, Biology, Philosophy, Political Science, Political Theory, Geography, Architecture, and the Arts, among others—that have been reflecting on the relationship between humans and nature.

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, Geographer and Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA Susanna Hecht and Gabriel Kozlowski discuss the Amazon region through the lenses of political ecology. Hecht offers a panorama of the major transformations the region went through over the last century from both a local and global perspective. In the process, she emphasizes the need to break with the idea of the Amazon as a frontier, as well as with the intellectual divide between nature and culture. In the third episode, our guest is Susanna Hecht. Professor Hecht is a specialist on tropical development in Latin America, especially the Amazon Basin and Central America. Her research focuses on the political economies of development ranging from corporate frontiers of cattle and export commodity agriculture (like soy, and oil palm) to populist land occupation. She also studies their comparative environmental and social impacts. She also explores alternatives to destructive development and analyzes the forms of conservation in inhabited landscapes whether through indigenous technologies, non-timber extractive products, niche markets as well as new tenurial forms (such as extractive reserves), social movements and globalization, including the role of remittances and migratory networks in reshaping rural land uses. The impacts of emerging green markets and greenhouse gas offsets for smaller-scale farmers also form part of her research concerns. As one of the founders of the analytic approach known as Political Ecology, Dr Hecht has been engaged in understanding the theoretical and institutional dynamics that underpin deforestation and its alternatives. “That ideology of frontier is the ideology of conquest, and it doesn't reflect reality. It's a discursive way of creating a boundary. So what it does is that the frontier basically says there's no real civilization. On the other side of this. We are the civilization, and we'll just come to the frontier. We'll change the way it integrates into the world through our systems.” —Susanna Hecht, Geographer, Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA - A '74PODCAST Series, URBAN NATURE is hosted by Gabriel Kozlowski, Brazilian architect and curator working on urbanization from the perspective of political ecology. The Series presents guests from a diverse set of disciplines—including Anthropology, Biology, Philosophy, Political Science, Political Theory, Geography, Architecture, and the Arts, among others—that have been reflecting on the relationship between humans and nature.

For our 18th episode this season we got the chance to speak to Edith Gerhardt, CEO of Hirmer Hospitality. We discussed her personal career path from The Ritz Carlton to Marriott International, which ultimately lead her to Travel Charme and Hirmer Hospitality. Edith told us about employee motivation and success factors for a hospitality company and emphasized the importance of clear values and measurability to inspire others as visionaries. Further, she elaborates on the significance of positive mistake culture and in that context introduces Mr. BIV, a documentation program to track and learn from mistakes. We learn more about Hirmer Hospitality and the three different brands in the portfolio, namely “Travel Charme”, “Urban Nature” and “truuee” and discuss the difference between operational and strategic thinking. As if all that wasn't enough, Edith also shared her favorite sports with us, causing our host Philip to propose a challenge to Edith at the end. Enjoy the show!

Bukit Kiara remains as one of the few large green open spaces found right here in Kuala Lumpur, and is a hugely popular recreational site for urbanites in the Klang Valley. The green lung also provides a number of ecosystem services, including flood mitigation and erosion and landslide prevention, just to name two. But with the whole area not fully gazetted and protected, there is still work to be done to protect this vital space from more development. We catch up with Ir Dr Kribanandan Naidu, the President of Friends of Bukit Kiara (FoBK), for an update on everything the group has been working on, and why they continue to fight for the preservation of this area as a whole.Image credit: Friends of Bukit Kiara/FacebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, cultural and critical theorist Verena Conley and Gabriel Kozlowski talk about ecology in the context of culture and philosophy while discussing its connection to care ethics, feminism, and materialism. Conley argues that our survival depends on realizing a more direct connection with animals, plants and other life forms that share the same ecosystems with us. On the second episode, our guest is Verena Andermatt Conley. Verena is a cultural and critical theorist who has been teaching at Harvard since 1996 in Comparative Literature, and Romance Languages and Literature. She writes on current dilemmas in the natural and urban environments and her publications include among many Ecopolitics: The Environment in Poststructuralist Theory (1997), Spatial Ecologies: Urban Sites, State and World-Space in French Cultural Theory (2012) and Rethinking Technologies (1993-1997). She also has just finished On Care: A Plea for Etho-Ecology (2022). Verena is an affiliate of the Harvard University Committee for the Environment and an associate of the Harvard Urban Mellon Initiative. "We have to do some rethinking of matter not as dead as it was assumed to be, but matter that is everywhere. Explore the liveliness of matter and see how the implications are, how the relationship is between humans and nature, animal, plants and the environment. Explore a way of a new alliance and rethink these boundaries." -Verena Conley - A '74PODCAST Series, URBAN NATURE is hosted by Gabriel Kozlowski, Brazilian architect and curator working on urbanization from the perspective of political ecology.

For as long as broadcaster Indira Naidoo can remember, her two sisters have always been by her side. With only a year between each of them, they were inseparable, almost like triplets. For almost 50 years, they shared every moment of their lives with one another. Until Indira's younger sister Manika took her own life. In this episode, Indira talks to our executive editor Kara Byers about the impact her sister's death has had on her, which she writes about in her new book The Space Between the Stars (Murdoch Books, $32.99), her grief journey, and how she found solace and healing in urban nature, including an unlikely connection with a 100-year-old fig tree and looking to the night sky.This podcast discusses suicide and death by suicide.

In this episode of URBAN NATURE, Emanuele Coccia and Gabriel Kozlowski talk about the relationship of ecology with economy and politics, both in history and in the present. Coccia argues that we call natural environment is a form of artifact, artificially produced by living beings, and that the solution to our future is a spatial one, as a form of new modes of cohabitation between species. - Welcome to the first episode of URBAN NATURE, hosted by Gabriel Kozlowski, Brazilian architect and curator working on urbanization from the perspective of political ecology. The Series presents guests from a diverse set of disciplines—including Anthropology, Biology, Philosophy, Political Science, Political Theory, Geography, Architecture, the Arts, among others—that have been reflecting on the relationship between humans and nature. The first guest to inaugurate the series is Emanuele Coccia, a philosopher with interest spanning from ecology to arts and fashion. Coccia has a background in agricultural sciences. When he first got exposed to botany, chemistry and biology, the influence of which becomes evident in some of his philosophical works is he's the author of The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Mixture (2018) and Metamorphosis (2021). He is currently working on a book on the history of ecology. "We forget that ecology and economy are twin sisters. In the sense that they are sciences that share the same name—remember: ecology starts as "economy of nature"—, they share the same concepts, the same epistemological frameworks, and the same metaphors. (…) for instance, the metaphor of invisible hand that produces an order, a balance, was present from the start in both ecology and economy." -Emanuele Coccia - Episode recorded on Zoom in March 2022. Produced by ISTANBUL'74.

The city of Barcelona is reinventing the work soil; a social entrepreneur in Utrecht is trying to challenge the way the government cooperates with local green initiatives; and a housing company in Malmo is redefining neighbourhood design for the 21st century. All these actions represent different examples of innovation – some of which are completely novel, and some of which utilise existing ideas in a new way. Innovation is the theme of the 5th episode of the Creating Green Cities podcast. In this episode, we discuss different aspects of ecological, technical, social and systemic innovation. As always in our podcast, we ask our guests to share insights and experiences from their hands-on work with urban nature. Through their stories, we learn how innovative governance approaches, business models, institutional settings and different forms of collaboration can help to promote nature-based solutions as an integral part of urban planning.

There are many ways to refer to nature in cities: urban green space, nature-based solutions, green infrastructure… But which name is best? Does it really even matter what names we used to describe urban nature? In this episode, Stephen Elser (@stephen_elser) interviews Dr. Dan Childers (director of @caplter) about some of the issues with various terms to describe urban nature, and a relatively new term that he prefers: urban ecological infrastructure. Then, we hear from Jason Sauer (@JasonRSauer) about a term he uses to describe his own study system: "heritage" wetlands. Learn how the words we use can change our research approaches and the perspectives that we adopt.Find Dr. Childers' paper on urban ecological infrastructure here, and listen to his previous appearance on our show with a conversation about urban ecology here.

A tree is so much more than just a tree! Trees provide habitat to support biodiversity, remove carbon dioxide and particulate matter from our air, cool our cities during summers, and inspire enjoyment by all. A tree planted deliberately to provide any of these services is considered a nature-based solution. In this episode, we present the concept of nature-based solutions as an approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and manage stormwater in our cities. We meet Associate Professor Kes McCormick and PhD Researcher Björn Wickenberg, who share their research on nature-based solutions. Kes introduces us to a new online course called ‘Urban Nature’ and Björn shares with us his perspective as a previous urban planner in how to invite nature into our cities.

Lila Higgins, Senior Manager Community Science and Co-founder of the City Nature Challenge, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The planet’s human population is rapidly expanding towards 8 billion people. More people live in cities and developed areas than in rural or non-developed areas. Around the world, we are progressively becoming more urban, and less familiar with the natural world. This trend is highlighted by the continued removal of nature words from the Oxford Junior Dictionary. Recently, words like acorn, fungus, fern, and willow were removed from the dictionary, and replaced with blog, MP3 player, and chatroom. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is tackling this trend head on, to connect people to their urban nature and create an environmentally literate public. Lila Higgins will speak about her leadership in the community science field, from co-founding the large global City Nature Challenge event, to her work in the local community that bring people together, in their own neighborhoods, to learn about and document nature. She will talk about the NSF, Wellcome Trust, and ESRC funded learning research she is conducting on international youth’s development of environmental science agency, and various other projects that work to communicate urban nature concepts to a wide audience. Projects such as the Museum’s Nature Gardens & Nature Lab exhibits, the recently published Wild LA book, and use of novel social media practices with @NatureinLA.

On the fifth episode of the Circular Metabolism Podcast, we had the opportunity to chat with Matthew Gandy, one of the pioneers of urban political ecology.Matthew is Professor of Geography, and Fellow of King's College at the University of Cambridge. He was Founder and Director of the UCL Urban Laboratory and also has been a visiting scholar amongst others at Columbia University, the University of California, and the Humboldt University in Berlin.Matthew’s research topics range from environmental history, urban political ecology, urban water infrastructure, epidemiology, as well as rethinking existing understandings of urban nature. He is indeed an eclectic researcher led by curiosity, attentive observation and sometimes by serendipity. His research is sometimes inspired through art exhibitions asking unusual or unpredictable questions which social sciences tend to overlook or not address.His publications include Concrete and clay: reworking nature in New York City (The MIT Press, 2002), The fabric of space: water, modernity, and the urban imagination (The MIT Press, 2014), and Moth (Reaktion, 2016), along with articles in New Left Review, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Society and Space and many other journals. He is currently researching the interface between cultural and scientific aspects to urban bio-diversity. His article “Rethinking Urban Metabolism: water, space and the modern city” and his book “Concrete and clay: reworking nature in New York City” really helped me broaden my urban metabolism horizons by adding social, geographical, historical and political layers.In this episode, we discuss how our choice of words and metaphors is extremely important to describe complex social and environmental challenges. For instance, Matthew used the urban metabolism metaphor to describe for the double circulation in water infrastructure, meaning the circulation of water and capital as well as the interlinks between the material and immaterial flows. However, the use of this metaphor has been highly controversial and almost divisive over the years between critical geographers and industrial ecologists.Matthew also mentions how he actively changes the focus of urban political ecology by bringing different actors and protagonists at the forefront of the research such as flies and overmature trees to question our current discourses on biodiversity in the urban context. He argues that one of the weaknesses of urban political ecology is the lack of direct engagement with ecological science.In the future, a more radical interdisciplinarity is necessary to tackle complex urban problems. He believes that grounded theory and the use of a practical case could enable us to explore the combination between social, historical and ecological sciences.Enjoy this episode and don’t forget to visit our website www.circularmetabolism.com to find all of our activities and productions.
