In this episode, Dr. Jessica O’Reilly analyzes the cross-sectionality of global health and environmental functions. This analysis includes observations of how distinct cultures and religions approach resilience in separate ways using their own specific epistemology. Specifically, O’Reilly contrasts Indigenous wisdom and Western science. This leads to an intriguing conversation about environmental racism and justice in colonized communities and whether resilience itself is an oppressive expectation for these communities. This conversation took place August 26, 2021.
