A Mess of Unequal Exchanges, Lessons in ‘Ubuntu’, and Recycling (Not Really) with Ruth Nyambura
In this messy episode, Tiff dives into the deep/shallow waters of the climate crisis with Ruth Nyambura, an eco-feminist and thinker at large. Together, they discuss smart-people things like dependency theory, get cultural with ideas of ubuntu and utu, and unpack the villain origin story of the climate crisis (i.e. its colonial and imperial roots). They also examine the need for a political lens when thinking about solutions and how those who contribute the least to the crisis are often the ones hit the hardest.
