Show Notes
On the second part of Amanda’s conversation with Evelyn Brister, they speak about efforts aimed at reintroducing American chestnuts to the wild and some of the ethical questions underlying those efforts.
Dr. Brister is an environmental philosopher and a philosopher of science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She’s written about a range of topics, including: climate governance, the problem of disciplinary capture in interdisciplinary areas (i.e. pretty much anything related to sustainability), and re-wilding. However, what particularly caught our attention (and which would be a terrific read for all of you who enjoy this podcast) was her recent book (co-authored with Robert Frodeman), A Guide to Field Philosophy: Case Studies and Practical Strategies.
