Everyday EnvironmentalismSeneca Village Part 2: Reimagining Central Park History with Poetry (with Maddy Aubey)In this episode we sit down with Everyday Environmentalism’s own Maddy Aubey! Maddy is a PhD archaeology student at UCLA who tells us about her undergraduate thesis: “Visions Underfoot: Seneca Village and the Poetics of Remembrance.” It’s an interdisciplinary project that combines archaeology, history, and poetry. Maddy used physical objects found by archaeologists at the Seneca Village dig site as a way to creatively ponder the interior lives of the individuals who called it home.
This is Part II of our series of episodes on Seneca Village. If you want a more traditional history about the fact...
2021-10-2144 minEveryday EnvironmentalismSeneca Village Part 1: Unearthing an African American Village Under Central Park (with Dr. Nan Rothschild)This episode features Dr. Nan Rothschild, a historical archaeologist and Professor Emerita at Columbia University who worked on the team that excavated Seneca Village, a predominantly African American community that was displaced to build Central Park in the nineteenth century. We discuss why Seneca Village is a historically significant site and what it took to convince the reluctant NYC Parks Department to allow an excavation to take place, among many other fascinating topics.
Dr. Rothschild has done archaeological work in New York City and the American Southwest, and most of her research concerns the expression of social...

We discuss Dr. Britt's experience excavating a site at City Hall and her knowledge about the African Burial Ground. We also discuss the importance of community-based archaeology, particularly as it pertains to ways archaeologists can assist urban communities in the aftermath of "natural" disasters. Other topics include "green gentrification" and the need to drop the term "climate resilience."

We discuss what nineteenth century low-income New Yorkers did for fun outside, including taking trips to public parks in their neighborhoods; riding ferries and streetcars to beer gardens and pleasure grounds; and taking steamboats that traveled to waterfront excursion groves. Dr. Plater explains the "3 P's of Parks," which included partying, peddling, and protesting. These 3 P's often caused tensions between New Yorkers of various classes, genders, and racial identities, as well as clashes between the public, politicians, and...
2021-07-201h 01Everyday EnvironmentalismRiding Bikes Because Black Lives Matter (with Ride to DC founder Lena Tibebe)This episode features a conversation with Lena Tibebe, the founder of Ride to DC, which is a NYC-based organization that aims to diversify cycling.
Last year, Ride to DC began hosting an annual group bike ride from NYC to DC--hence, the “Ride to DC”--as a way to recognize the existence and significance of Black Lives. During the inaugural 2020 ride, 127 cyclists joined the week-long, 306-mile journey.
We discuss the origin and inspiration behind Ride to DC with Lena, as well as providing more context about her own personal relationship with cycling in New York City. Lena...

In this episode we discuss the long history of cycling in New York City, including its liberating potential (from a tool for mass protests to an escape for suburban kids), as well as the way access to bikes has often been impaired by race, class, and gender. We contemplate the many forms of cycling in NYC, from Citibike, to food delivery cyclists, to competitive athletes training in Central Park. We also...

We discuss how during the early nineteenth century, working class New Yorkers living in Manhattan raised livestock and even practiced a form of recycling by reusing urban waste. Battles over urbanizing and beautifying New York City ensued, involving tension over curated public outdoor spaces like Central Park; fights over sanitation and animals in the streets; and how to manage recurring epidemics and diseases like cholera that ravaged the city...

We interview current activists in tandem with environmental historians to produce a long history of the ways ordinary New Yorkers have experienced the urban outdoors and created more sustainable relationships with their environment.
Our podcast interrogates questions like:
Who do we consider an environmentalist? Can urban spaces be sites of environmental activism? Is it true that the environmental movement has historically been mostly white and wealthy? Who are the animal inhabitants of New York City...
