РЕКЛАМА
Hilde Mosse comes from one of the wealthiest families in Berlin and stands to inherit an enormous fortune. But she longs for something more meaningful than the luxurious lifestyle her family provides. So Hilde decides to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. As the Nazis take power in Germany and the Mosse family is forced to flee, Dr. Hilde Mosse lands in New York having nearly lost everything.. She finds her calling treating the mental health of Black youth – and the symptoms of a racist system. In addition to photographs, school records, and correspondence spanning Hilde Mosse’s entire lifetime, the Mosse Family Collection in the LBI Archives includes the diaries she kept between 1928 and 1934, from the ages of 16-22. Hilde’s papers are just part of the extensive holdings related to the Mosse Family at LBI. Learn more at lbi.org/hilde .

The entire team at Antica Productions and Leo Baeck Institute is deeply saddened by the passing of our Executive Producer, Bernie Blum. We would not have been able to tell these stories without Bernie's generous support. Bernie was also President Emeritus of LBI and Exile would not exist without his energetic and visionary leadership. We extend our condolences to his entire family. May his memory be a blessing.

×"Cultural understandings can be very rapid, they can also be sometimes very resistant to change, which is part of the problem, but the evolution of culture is something we can and should think about in a very different way from biological evolution, which takes a long time--and the fact that cultural evolution can turn on a dime can be very encouraging, because it means that it could be that in the next ten years (in a fantasy) everybody's out in the streets, saying 'leave it in the ground'--the fossil fuel, that is." ------ Ursula W. Goodenough is a Professor of Biology Emerita at Washington University in St. Louis where she engaged in research on eukaryotic algae. She authored the textbook Genetics and the best-selling book The Sacred Depths of Nature and speaks regularly about religious naturalism and evolution. She contributed to the NPR blog, 13.7: Cosmos & Culture , from 2009 to 2011.She currently serves as president of the Religious Naturalist Association and in 2023, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. ------ Other links: Religious Naturalist Association…
This week I have something a little different. I was asked to take part in the Collective Climate Action lecture series for the Spring Creek Project at Oregon State University. These are the same folks who asked me to do a keynote five years ago, which turned into the essay that’s in the wonderful book All We Can Save. I struggled with this one, as I struggled with that one, trying to honestly describe and also find power in the very complicated feelings that climate change instills in me as in many others. I’m going to keep working on this one too, because I think it will serve as the keystone in a book of essays. Meanwhile, I hope you find it useful, or at least interesting. ____ Links: Spring Creek Project: https://prax.oregonstate.edu/initiatives/spring-creek-project Spring Creek Lecture Collective Climate Action series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T1WjHGofKk Loving a Vanishing World (the lecture I gave for Spring Creek in 2019): https://medium.com/@enjohnston/loving-a-vanishing-world-ace33c11fe0…

"If we had a climate leader like Anne Hidalgo, the Pike/Pine network itself, going from Capitol Hill, which is dense enough to support its own pedestrian zone and car-free streets, could be car-free or mostly car-free down to the water, there'd be this wonderful green interchange between Capitol Hill and downtown and there's really wonderful opportunities for a sustainable connectivity that we can't really conceive because every square inch of this city has to be handed over to the private vehicle." ____ Mike Eliason is the founder and principal of Larch Lab. He is a researcher, writer, urbanist, and architect based in Seattle. He has dedicated his career to advancing innovation and broadening the discourse on passivhaus, community-oriented housing, ecodistricts, prefabrication, and circularity. He is an activist for dense, livable, affordable, and sustainable cities, and he currently sits on the board of Seattle’s new Passivhaus Social Housing Development PDA. He has just finished a book on climate adaptive ecodistricts for Island Press. ____ Links: Larch lab Building for People: Designing Livable, Affordable, Low-Carbon Communities Seattle Mayor's Comp Plan response to HB 1110 Paris Mass Timber PNW Forests EcoCocon…

"Because the one thing they will never have that we have is numbers, and moral high ground. Most of us are doing this because we care, it's coming from a place of love, often we're doing it in our volunteer time--and the government and corporations will never match that." ____ Lauren Regan is the legendary founder, executive director, and staff attorney at the Civil Liberties Defense Center. She and the CLDC have defended “green scare” activists, climate activists, water protectors, and many more. The CLDC was a founding member of the Water Protector Legal Collective, active at Standing Rock and Line 3, and has also worked to defend activists at Cop City in Atlanta. Lauren has also coordinated the defense of large groups of activists in the Pacific Northwest, and run countless Know Your Rights briefings, security workshops, and information sessions about the dangers of SLAPP suits. She represents activists affiliated with Extinction Rebellion, immigrant rights, indigenous rights, Black Lives Matter, and other environmental and social justice movements. I’ve personally experienced her fierce and focused legal advocacy, and can attest to the fact that you definitely want her on your side if you’re challenging the system. _____ Links: Civil Liberties Defense Center…

"The clear-cuts were littered with these big old logs, they were just lying there rotting in the sun, and we asked Dominick DellaSalla, the scientist who was our tour guide, what's that all about, and he said 'they're really picky about which logs they bring back to market, so if they see flaws in the wood they'll just leave it behind...70% of the logs, of the old growth yellow cedar trees that are cut down, are left behind.'" ______ Today’s episode is with Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate, the co-authors of Canopy of Titans (currently a finalist for the Oregon Book Award), which focuses on Pacific Northwest forests and their importance to our global climate. Paul is editor and co-founder of Cascadia Times, and has won awards for investigative journalism. He’s an Oregon native who currently resides in Portland.

"Our ignorance of the soil really impedes our efforts to reach what I see as the holy grail here, which is low-impact, high-yield farming. There's plenty of high-impact, high-yield farming, and plenty of low-impact, low-yield farming, but neither of those are the answers that we need to find. We have this enormously challenging thing that we face, that we have to feed 8, and one day 9 or 10 billion people, while trying to bring that system back within planetary boundaries." ______ George Monbiot is a columnist for the Guardian, and an investigative environmental reporter. He’s in some cases barely lived to tell the tale while writing about forced migration in Indonesia, peasant movements in Brazil, assaults on nomadic people in Kenya and Tanzania, and the illegal traffic in mahogany, including to Buckingham Palace. He’s the author most recently of Feral: Rewilding the Land, Sea, and Human Life, and Regenesis: Feeding the World without Devouring the Planet. He received a UN Global 500 Award from Nelson Mandela. ______ Links: The Cruel Fantasies of Well-Fed People: https://www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/the-cruel-fantasies-of-well-fed-people/ Grazed and Confused: https://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/reports/fcrn_gnc_report.pdf…
"The climate crisis that we have now, the environmental justice crises that we have now, are because there was not an investment or concern about the communities that are feeling the brunt of these illnesses when these facilities were being created, when these plans were being made. If we had cared about climate change, if we had cared about the environment, 40/50 years ago, when Valero Energy Corporation was planning to build in SW Memphis, we probably wouldn't have the cancer rates that we have now. If people had cared about all of these toxic release inventory facilities that surround our community, we wouldn't be dealing with the consequences of environmental degradation and environmental racism that we have now. The reality is that to show that we care, it does require us to show up differently, and that means consistently, persistently rejecting the status quo. " ______ Justin J. Pearson is a state representative in Tennessee’s General Assembly, a powerful pipeline fighter who helped to defeat the Byhalia Pipeline through his work with Memphis Community against Pollution, and an activist who has also stood up for educational equity, racial justice, and gun control. Along with Justin Jones, he was one of the two state representatives who were expelled after taking part in a gun control protest at the state capitol. He was reappointed six days later. ______…

"We need regulation, we need policy, we need community pressure, we need expectations, we need movies, we need poetry...we need all these things that drive us to a certain behavior, because we have got a lot of good sides, and they're not brought out by our current society and our current economic model, they are repressed and destructed by it. There's a great academic story about a guy who went to look for evidence that we behave badly under pressure--the whole dog eat dog market view of the world, when things go bad we're going to be fighting for the food, fighting for shelter, and...all the apocalyptic movies, The Road, etc...and there's a side of us that can behave that way, but his view was that the academic evidence was not just not supportive, it was the opposite--that when we have a wildfire, when we have a flood, when we have a really intense threat to a community, the community comes together, and it comes together because it needs to in order to protect itself, and that's a natural tendency of humanity, not something that we need to be forced into." ______ Paul Gilding is the author of The Great Disruption, and has been an activist for over 50 years: a student activist against Apartheid and for Aboriginal land rights, a union organizer, a disarmament organizer, a climate organizer, the Executive Director of Greenpeace International, and much more. In consulting and speeches, he’s also worked to persuade companies and corporate executives to respond appropriately to the climate crisis, and he’s a teacher and researcher at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. ______ Links: The Great Disruption The Great Disruption Has Begun…

"Standing Rock was like the beginning and the end of various parts of my life. I feel like I was asleep before Standing Rock. When I took my children out there it became more about recognizing our place on Earth as human beings and realizing that if we don't have our children in those spaces, how are we going to pass that knowledge on, or how do we expect them to stand...as much as I would love to say that our youth didn't have to stand on the frontlines, but they're inheriting what's been created already, and so unfortunately we are left to create warriors to continue this work that we're doing." ---- Today I have the pleasure of talking with someone a little closer to home than most of my guests. Rachel Heaton is a Muckleshoot tribal member, a founder of the Indigenous-led divestment group Mazaska Talks, a mountain climber, a cultural educator, a naturalist, and mother to 3 beautiful children, Mercedes, Nylah, and Dahnahhi. I’ve been lucky enough to work with her on and off over the last several years, and I can honestly say there are few people I’ve appreciated more. Her kindness, intelligence, and dedication shine through in all she does. ---- Links: Mazaska Talks…

"Start by just learning the names of the bumblebees in your garden and the butterflies that fly past your room, of the birds, and it's not hard...and once you open that door, once you start, it's this neverending unfolding field of wonders, as crazy and naive as that sounds, and I wouldn't be able to live my life without it." ________ Adam Welz is a South African journalist, nature conservation consultant, photographer and filmmaker. Most recently, he's the author of The End of Eden: Wild Nature in the Age of Climate Breakdown, which Bill McKibben has called “A book that goes deeper than any before into the meaning of the climate breakdown for all the rest of creation.” ________ Links: The End of Eden The Merlin App iNaturalist…

“The issues that we attempt to suppress and sweep under the rug--or repress, which means we sweep under the rug unconsciously—they don’t go anywhere, they just go in the darker crevices of our mind and then, like poisoning in groundwater, they seep into us, unconsciously, and we feel stressed and anxiety, and when it reaches a certain level we become more aware of it, and when we don’t take action is that it just keeps poisoning us, building up, we know over and over again, and studies show this, that when people start to name the problem and figure out a strategy to address it, that their anxiety goes down.” ________ Dr. Lise Van Susteren is a general and forensic psychiatrist in Washington, DC, and an expert on the physical and mental health effects of climate disruption. She is a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at George Washington University and co-founder of the Climate Psychiatry Alliance. A frequent contributor on television, radio and in the print media, she was also the expert witness on the psychological damages to children in Juliana v US Government, and the People V Arctic Oil before the European Court of Human Rights.

“To me, that is the power of poetry, where we can take these fragments of our lives, of our psyches, and of our emotions, and to really conjure something new—not necessarily something whole and complete, but something that's beautiful and something that's empowering and inspiring from these ruins of history and migration and so on, and so that's why I really wanted to explore the fragments in my poetry and to weave these fragments together into a new tapestry, not necessarily something completely formed, but it's something that gives me a sense of self, a sense of culture, a sense of place, a sense of belonging as well.” ________ Craig Santos Perez is the author of seven books of poetry, and a winner of the American Book Award and a PEN Center USA Award. He is a native of Guam who moved to California at 15 and now teaches literature and creative writing at the University of Hawaii; he’s also a widely anthologized essayist who has thought deeply about place and ecology. ________ If you enjoy these conversations, please make sure to subscribe, and leave a review if you can!

“One of the words for which I haven’t been able to find an English equivalent is the word ‘nyingjey’...you'll hear Tibetans say this word very often, if you have a friend who is a little bit down, or there is a suffering animal nearby or a wounded bird or a wounded deer on the road… nyingjey, nyingjey. It's an expression of compassionate empathy, but it's not exactly the same as pity or ‘poor you’, that doesn't capture it, it's much more of an offering of solidarity. You’re trying to almost…becoming one with the other that's suffering, so eliminating the distinction or the line that divides us.” ________ A friend of mine introduced me to Lhadon and Tendor by describing them as badass Tibetan activists who work at the intersection of human dignity, spirituality, and climate. Given the arc of the podcast, I was convinced–and boy am I glad that I was. They touch herein on the complexities of exile, the parallels between American and Canadian treatment of indigenous peoples with what China is doing right now in Tibet, the importance of contentment, the misuses of Buddhism by CEOs and others, greenwashing, the Dalai Lama, the speed of culture change, and Chinese exceptionalism. When she was deported from China following an arrest for a protest, government functionaries called Lhadon “a threat to the stability of China”. It may seem absurdly hyperbolic that such thoughtful and gentle activists threaten one of the most powerful nations on Earth, but it may be true, in precisely the same way that the right wing is correct to be threatened by climate activists. The vision that Lhadon and Tendor offer here is not compatible with repression, nor with the exploitation of humans or the natural world–and that vision is also irresistible. Materialism can be infectious sometimes but so can its opposite and therein lies our best chance for survival. Lhadon Tethong is a Tibetan-Canadian political activist, the co-founder and director of the Tibet Action Institute, and a former executive director of Students for a Free Tibet, a global network of students and activists dedicated to advancing Tibetan freedom and human rights. Tenzin Dorjee is an activist and the author of The Tibetan Nonviolent Struggle: A Strategic and Historical Analysis; he is also a former executive director of Students for a Free Tibet. His writings have been widely published and he is a frequent radio commentator on Tibet-related issues. He is currently working on his PhD on the influence of religion on political conflict at Columbia. ________ If you enjoy these conversations, please make sure to subscribe, and leave a review if you can!

"It's about being a part of, and participant in, a world that is shot through with loss, predation, grief, and yet it's all that shadowed difficulty that also makes this world so exquisitely beautiful, so holy." Cultural ecologist, geophilosopher, and performance artist David Abram is the author of Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology and The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World. Described as "revolutionary" by the Los Angeles Times, and as “daring” and “truly original” by the journal Science, his work has helped to catalyze several new disciplines, including ecopsychology. For the current academic year, Abram is the Senior Visiting Scholar in Ecology and Natural Philosophy at Harvard University. ________ If you enjoy these conversations, please make sure to subscribe, and leave a review if you can!
