This week on STPT, Danielle Holland and Mo Nunez discuss the week’s news, from who is being centered in environmental projects to the trial of Derek Chauvin. It’s windy af out there.
Then, Native American Organizer and Professor, Dr. Kyle Whyte joins STPT. Kyle Whyte is George Willis Pack Professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan. Kyle’s research addresses moral and political issues concerning climate policy and indigenous peoples, the ethics of cooperative relationships between Indigenous peoples and science organizations, and problems of Indigenous justice in public and academic discussions of food sovereignty, environmental justice, and the anthropocene. He is an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.
In conversation this week, Kyle explores the context and history of urgency being used as a tool of colonialism. He calls to account the suspension of moral judgment at play in modern day colonial environmentalism, and he reminds us that this is the time to be serious about kinship. With this conversation, from the words of Dr. Whyte, we intend to leave you focused on your relationships with trustworthiness, accountability and consent.
