Critical Ecology: Scars Of The Land Ft Dr. Suzanne Pierre

[@MTemil]

Thank you for this video and for highlighting these perspectives! I’m pursuing a Msc in geography and am currently finding myself tumbling more and more down the direction of critical theory, and critical ecology fits so well with the interdisciplinarity of geography, understanding social and bio-geophysical systems as inherently interlinked. Finding this video feels almost like a sign to me.

Thank you so much for watching! And echoing several people who also agree that these alternative processes and theories of change must be introduced and implemented more through independent organizations than within the institutions. I'm hoping you learn more from them on their website as they have tons of great resources. Thank you so much for watching :)

Really appreciate you guys' work. As a poc I've always had a connection to nature early on since my family came from a rural/agricultural country but have struggled to see myself in the mainly white environmental movement that tends to see nature and ppl as separate. Even historically, my ancestors were enslaved in huge part b/c of their agricultural knowledge which is never recognized, and so, you really are opening up the space more for these different kinds of reframing to occur. When we talk about environmental justice it's not just about inequality but remembering our heritage.

We are so grateful you watched this episode it means a lot to me and this is the reason why I created this web series and collaborated with the CEL lab because these conversations get left behind so many times! Thank you for sharing your story and getting to know about Critical Ecology ♥️

A really inspiring and empowering video. Thank you. There were some really moving moments. I liked the discussion of loss and loss of traditional culture. My mind made links between asylums, institutions of 'correction', labour camps, work houses, and plantations, and I remembered the plantation system in Ireland. There are all these sad links, with those Europeans in the ruling classes experimenting on the disabled and disenfranchised, and those of the wrong religion (and I remember that the first enslaved people on Sao Tome were convicts and Jewish people), then exporting these experiments wholesale to whole continents. It's a sad, sad story. But your video felt empowering as well as linking to these terrifying sadnesses. Power to you! (Andrew Cheffings, Interfaith Choirs)

History is a powerful tool to allow us to examine the harm and violence from systems and institutions that hurt people globally. It's also powerful we continue to hold tight to history to understand the ways we navigate our society because we cannot have history repeat itself again and pave a new future of justice, equity, and inclusion for everyone.
