A truly energizing chat with Dr. Rishi Sugla, Frontline Community Climate Resilience Scientist at UW's Climate Impacts Group, where we dive into:
* How universities can (need to) work in solidarity with communities on environmental justice
* Working with frontline communities on climate adaptation through true co-creation
* Bringing community organizing expertise to academia’s approach to working with communities
* Mutual aid versus charity
* Again, because it’s so important: decolonizing conservation and research!
* Basically: academia needs regular reality checks
* Going from a mindset of separate lanes to a “dance party to make the world better”
