Peter Sutoris, Ph.D.: Education for the Anthropocene

Coconut Thinking

How might ethics world the futures our generation will leave behind? How might education respond within the climate context?

In this episode, I speak with Peter Sutoris. Peter is an environmental anthropologist and assistant professor in climate and development at the University of Leeds’ Sustainability Research Institute. He is the author of the books “Visions of Development” and “Educating for the Anthropocene,” and coauthor of the forthcoming “Development Reimagined.” He is a researcher, writer and educator, and has spent over a decade working on issues of education, health and social development. We discuss:

🥥 How we might confront the underlying patterns of extraction rather than hope for technology to make tweaks in the existing system;

🥥 What happens to ethics if we care about what life was before I was born and what will happen after we die?

🥥 What needs to change in our thinking, in our stories, and what might the system accept and what might it resist.
