Sarah Cox
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 3:30PM CT
"Environmental journalist Sarah Cox has witnessed what happens when we drive species to the brink of extinction. In Signs of Life , she tags along with the Canadian military, Indigenous guardians, biologists, conservationists, and ordinary people who are racing to save hundreds of species before it’s too late."
During this Big Ideas hour, we'll hear from Sarah Cox, a leader in ecological justice journalism, as she discusses several of the ideas in her latest book and offers us practical next-step advice for preventing habitat loss and the extirpation of species.
Niigaan Sinclair
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 3:30PM CT
"Based on years' worth of columns, Niigaan Sinclair delivers a defining essay collection on the resilience of Indigenous peoples. Here, we meet the creators, leaders, and everyday people preserving the beauty of their heritage one day at a time. But we also meet the ugliest side of colonialism, the Indian Act, and the communities who suffer most from its atrocities."
Join us for this Big Ideas hour, a moment for us to slow down, reflect, and listen to Niigaan Sinclair discuss the larger ideas in his latest work.
Kate J. Neville
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 3:30PM CT
" Going to Seed explores questions of idleness, considering the labour both of humans and of the myriad other inhabitants of the world. Drawing on science, literature, poetry, and personal observation, these winding and sometimes playful essays pay attention to the exertions and activities of the other-than-human lives that are usually excluded from our built and settled spaces, asking whose work and what kinds of work might be needed for a more just future for all."
Join us for this Big Ideas hour, a moment for us to slow down, to idle, and to listen to Kate J. Neville discuss the larger ideas in her latest work.
