What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Jana Carp (part 1) The first of two holiday-worthy conversations with Jana Carp - suggesting that slow movements needn't be elitist and offering enough sustenance for your moral self to bolster you for 2016. Using the conceptual framework of resilience theory to understand the Slow movements' roles in social change, Jana's views are liberating for activists. She describes pleasure as a legitimate and necessary objective of the slow movement, implying that the authentic benefits of slowing down make pleasure a legitimate objective for any activist. She makes you realize there's good reason to let go of the need to have your ducks in a row before initiating a project and points to low income people as being the U.S. community where resilience can be found today.
