Pete's podcast on community development

A conversation with Dr Jamie Gorman on community development and environmental justice


Listen Later

Tune into this delightful 40 minute conversation with Jamie, on Arrernte Country (in Alice Springs) about community development and environmental justice. We riff off a few topics, but the core of this conversation is a story of Jamie accompanying and learning from a community in Ireland as it struggles against fracking. It's a rich conversation, and in my reflections really foregrounds the importance of community development practitioners acquiring political literacies.

For those interested, Jamie refers to:

1. The Commons Social Change Library article: https://commonslibrary.org/how-to-beat-the-fracking-frenzy/#5_key_rooting_strategies

2. A community development journal article on his work: https://academic.oup.com/cdj/article-abstract/57/1/17/6481916?login=false

PS apologies at the 22 minutes mark for the overhead plane noise (flying into Alice Springs)
