Description
<p>Dr Vanessa Andreotti (Indigenous Knowledge advocate; author) is a Brazilian academic who has developed a radical thesis for how to move through the multi-crises we face. In her book <em>Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism </em>she draws on Indigenous wisdoms and entanglement theory to steer humanity through the destruction, grief and uncertainty as democracy, the growth model, “the West” crumbles around us. </p><br><p>Dr Andreotti is the Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria, Canada where she is also one of the designers of the Facing Human Wrongs: Climate Complexity and Relational Accountability course. She has written 100-plus papers on climate education, global justice and race. </p><br><p>In this chat – the last in the current Wild series – she talks through how modernity is the most “adolescent” civilisation in history, how Indigenous cultures have the knowledge to assist us, how the West won’t act until “the water is up to their bum” and the value of “black belt aunties”.</p><br><p>Get your copy of <a href="https://amzn.to/3VoJImP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism</a>. </p><p>Find out more about <a href="https://decolonialfutures.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures</a></p><br><p>--</p><br><p>If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "<a href="http://www.sarahwilson.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">about</a>" page</p><p>For more such conversations subscribe to my<a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Substack newsletter</a>, it’s where I interact the most!</p><p>Get your copy of my book,<a href="https://amzn.to/3vs3tf2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> This One Wild and Precious Life</a></p><p>Let’s connect on<a href="http://www.instagram.com/_sarahwilson_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
