Summary

In this episode, Keri and Michel talk with critical educators Heila Lotz Sisitka and Alison Oldfield and activist anthropologist Astrid Ulloa, about the relationship between time, politics and temporal justice. They explore how sensing into the complexities of the present in South Africa may open up spaces for new possibility knowledges to create just energy transitions; how colonial temporalities are being used (and resisted) in Indigenous territories in Colombia; and how disabled activists are making the case for ‘crip time’ to fundamentally rethink the temporal politics of engagement and consultation in relation to climate transition in the UK.
