Show Notes
Dr. Ian Werkheiser is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and the director of the Center for Collaboration and Ethics at the University of Rio Grande Valley. He also the host of my favorite philosophy podcast: Thought About Food. Dr. Werkheiser, like many of the guests on Just Sustainability, seems to involved in more projects that should be physically possible. In his case, those projects tend to revolve around food justice and how communities resist oppression and marginalization.
On this episode Dr. Werkheiser and I chat about a wide range of topics. Those topics include: (1) why it seems many environmental philosophers concerned about environmental justice have begun writing about the relationship that humans have with technology, (2) a concept that Dr. Werkheiser introduced to academic philosophical discourse — epistemic self-determination, and (3) how to change practices so that marginalized communities can more effectively shape policy and governance.
