Environmental Racism with Dr. Ingrid Waldron 1:06:34

منذ 3 years1:06:34

1:06:34

Can the environment be racist? No, but those with power can use it to further marginalise racialised communities. Industries, landfills and other large and small-scale projects are seldom put into affluent White neighbourhoods by the government and corporations, but more often where Indigenous, Black and Brown people live. Today the Multi-Hazards Podcast features Dr. Ingrid Waldron, professor at McMaster University, author of There’s Something in the Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous and Black Communities and co-producer of the documentary film of the same name on Netflix. Join us as we discuss environmental racism and how communities and their allies are fighting for environmental justice.

"Racialised communities"? * Where do the communities that are often targeted by governments and corporations and their environmental racism live? * How has Ingrid's background and journey led her into this topic? * Why is environmental racism a very political topic? * Why are sociologists just as important as environmental scientists to deal with the social aspects of the environment? * How is environmental racism different from the term "environmental justice"? * How does environmental racism fit into the big picture of systemic racism that includes "high unemployment rates, income insecurity, poverty, food insecurity, poorly resourced neighbourhoods," etc.? * What is "intersectionality"? Who first used this phrase and why? What are the various elements that can "intersect"? * Why would, for example, landfills or industries, not be placed in or near white upper or middle class communities? What do they have that racialised communities do not have? * What are the "social determinants of health"? * What are some of the social institutions where racism is embedded in? * How did Ingrid get connected with actor Elliott Page? * Why did releasing the "There's Something in the Water" film on Netflix right when the global pandemic first arrived ensure more people watched? Why was this such a huge coincidence? * Why was the film's emotional impact so obvious? * Who are the Mikmaq First Nations and also the African Nova Scotians? What kind of environmental racism happened to their communities? * What kinds of resistance, mobilising and activism are Indigenous and Black communities using in their fight against environmental racism? * Beyond political resistance, why is policy making so important? * Why is raising awareness so crucial? * What needs to change in the Canadian education system? Why are young people a priority to reach? * Why do White folks have difficulty empathising with Black, Indigenous and other racialised communities? * Why do the media focus on White women who are murdered and missing and most often ignore the ones who are non-White? * What are some exciting new developments in the fight against environmental racism? Dr. Ingrid Waldron's Bio: Dr. Ingrid Waldron (MA, University of London; PhD, University of Toronto) is the HOPE Chair in Peace and Health in the Global Peace and Social Justice Program in the Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University. She teaches Peace, Environment and Health and Race, Place & Geographies of Violence in Indigenous & Black Communities (Special Topics Course) in the Global Peace and Social Justice Program in the Faculty of Humanities.

Dr. Waldron is the founder and Director of the Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities and Community Health Project (The ENRICH Project), which inspired the federal private members bill a National Strategy Respecting Environmental Racism and Environmental Justice (Bill C-230). Bill C-230 was introduced in the House of Commons on February 26, 2020, by MP Lenore Zam and approved at second reading on March 24, 2021, and at amendments on June 21, 2021.

Empire 2.0 - How Racism & Colonialism Still Rule the World with Dr. Kehinde Andrews 1:07:00

منذ 4 years1:07:00

1:07:00

To change the world first requires us to understand the nature of society, to look seriously at the way that it is structured. Racism, white supremacy, is the most important feature of this global system and Black and Brown people suffer the most worldwide. The reality of it all is that capitalism continues its ruthless quest to dominate, accumulate, spread across the world and strip resources. This is also the source of today's environmental crisis. If the West keeps carrying on in this way, this would literally mean the end of the entire world. This is the most urgent issue for all of us. Something drastically needs to change. Can we get the buy-in necessary for everybody to make real change? Listen to Dr. Kehinde Andrews as he spells out how racism and colonialism are still ruling the world in Empire 2.0, from his latest book, The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Still Rule the World !

What can we do? Dr. Kehinde Andrews' Bio: Kehinde Andrews is Professor of Black Studies at Birmingham City University, where he founded, and is currently director of, the Centre for Critical Social Research. At BCU he was also one of the team who founded the first undergraduate degree in Black Studies. Andrews regularly writes for the Guardian, the Independent, Ebony Magazine, and CNN. He has been featured on Good Morning Britain, Newsnight, Channel 4 News, BBC News Channel, and Under the Skin with Russell Brand. Andrews’s first book, Resisting Racism: Race, Inequality and the Black Supplementary School Movement, was published in 2013 and he co-edited the first collection of British Black Studies, Blackness in Britain, in 2016. He wrote Back to Black: Retelling Black Radicalism for the 21st Century published by Zed books in 2018. And in this podcast episode we discuss his latest book, The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Still Rule the World, published in 2021 by Bold Type Books.

Unnatural Disasters with Dr. Gonzalo Lizarralde 1:13:11

منذ 4 years1:13:11

1:13:11

Can our response to disasters make things worse? How is it that our attempts to reduce risk or “build back better” mostly exacerbate social inequalities? And what can we do about it? Join Dr. Gonzalo Lizarralde as he shares his new book, Unnatural Disasters: Why Most Responses to Risk and Climate Change Fail but Some Succeed . Have a listen! Study Guide only at this link at the left labelled "PDF": https://multi-hazards.libsyn.com/unnatural-disasters-with-dr-gonzalo-lizarralde Topics include: * How the pandemic has affected different people, like the elderly, and society as a whole. * How corruption, racism, colonialism, personal vendettas, etc. all create risks. * The importance of finding the root causes of disasters. * Why being labelled "vulnerable" may lead to stigma. * Why being labelled "resilient" may lead to unrealistic hopes about your capabilities. * Beyond disaster statistics there are real humans with pain. * How functioning in three "worlds" (English, French, Spanish) has allowed Gonzalo to identify with people in his work. * How Naomi Klein's theme of disaster capitalism from The Shock Doctrine applies to "unnatural disasters" in the 2020s. * What are the long-term impacts of past imperialism and recent neoliberalism? * How the Global North continues to abuse and colonise the Global South in dealing with disasters. * Why corporate sustainability with the blessing of government is a failure. * How sustainable growth exacerbates the climate crisis and environmental destruction. * How disaster donations often never make it to those affected by disasters. * What are ways we can really benefit vulnerable peoples before, during and after disasters? * Why listening to people on the ground level and ensuring their decision-making power is best. Dr. Gonzalo Lizarralde’s Bio: Gonzalo Lizarralde is a professor of architecture at the Université de Montréal, where he holds the Fayolle-Magil Construction Chair in Architecture, Built Environment, and Sustainability. He is the director of the Canadian Disaster Resilience and Sustainable Reconstruction Research Alliance. His books include The Invisible Houses: Rethinking and Designing Low-Cost Housing in Developing Countries (2014). Gonzalo’s latest book, Unnatural Disasters: Why Most Responses to Risk and Climate Change Fail but Some Succeed , was published by Columbia University Press in 2021. LINK: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/unnatural-disasters/9780231198103# Description of his new book, Unnatural Disasters : Storms, floods, fires, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, and other disasters seem not only more frequent but also closer to home. As the world faces this onslaught, we have placed our faith in “sustainable development,” which promises that we can survive and even thrive in the face of climate change and other risks. Yet while claiming to “go green,” we have instead created new risks, continued to degrade nature, and failed to halt global warming. Unnatural Disasters offers a new perspective on our most pressing environmental and social challenges, revealing the gaps between abstract concepts like sustainability, resilience, and innovation and the real-world experiences of the people living at risk. Gonzalo Lizarralde explains how the causes of disasters are not natural but all too human: inequality, segregation, marginalization, colonialism, neoliberalism, racism, and unrestrained capitalism. He tells the stories of Latin American migrants, Haitian earthquake survivors, Canadian climate activists, African slum dwellers, and other people resisting social and environmental injustices around the world. Lizarralde shows that most reconstruction and risk-reduction efforts exacerbate social inequalities. Some responses do produce meaningful changes, but they are rarely the ones powerful leaders have in mind. This book reveals how disasters have become both the causes and consequences of today’s most urgent challenges and proposes achievable solutions to save a planet at risk, emphasizing the power citizens hold to change the current state of affairs.
