Facing the ecological crisis can feel overwhelming, often leading to despair or the belief that individual action is pointless. In this episode, we speak with Alexis Shotwell, professor of sociology and anthropology at Carleton University in Canada, who challenges this mindset.
Alexis introduces the concept of purity politics - the idea that only those who meet certain moral or ideological standards are allowed to participate in collective action. This belief, she argues, can stifle our political impulses and prevent meaningful collaboration.
Together, we explore how to move beyond purity politics, reconnect with collective action, and find hope in the face of ecological challenges.
