  • Part 2 | Violence in Environmental Activism - Learning from mistakes

    This special 2-part miniseries is from a panel held as part of ARTS1241, Environmental Advocacy and Activism, from the University of New South Wales.

    Mark Rudd is a political organizer and an anti-war activist. He first burst onto the political landscape in the United States as a member, and ultimately the leader of the Columbia University chapter of Students for Democratic Society (known as SDS). SDS was the leading student anti-war social movement in the United States in the 1960s.

    Mark Rudd's expertise, namely the limits of violent, direct action, are particularly relevant to what's going on right now. For more on SDS, Mark's contemporary Tom Hayden and that time period, check out the film The Trial of the Chicago Seven on Netflix. 

    Join the students of 1241 for this discussion with Mark about the dangers of violence in activism, his theory of change, and what we can learn from successful social movements of the past. 

    To join us in adapting future events, and providing a platform for learning and collaboration across the climate community, get in touch with Climactic at [email protected] for any feedback, suggestions or questions.

  • Wildlife Heroes: Caring for Carers | Climate Change - the grief we feel
    Our thanks to the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife for sharing this episode with us. Find the whole series and more information about the Wildlife Heroes project. 
    Australia’s 15,000+ wildlife volunteers work hard, under intense conditions. The Wildlife Heroes: Caring for Carers Podcast aims to start a mental health conversation to support our volunteers to look after themselves and each other.
    The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife (FNPW) teamed up with podcast producer Gretchen Miller, wildlife carers and mental health experts to share stories and perspectives about climate worry, personal wellbeing, community conflict, catastrophic events, and supporting others.
    Each single animal we rescue takes hours, days, weeks and months of care. But the big picture remains grim. How can we take care of ourselves as climate warriors and climate worriers?
    We speak with:
    Dr Ros Irwin, a veteran carer and President of  Friends of the Koala from Lismore in NSW. 
    Sally Gillespie, a former psychotherapist who presents talks and workshops on climate psychology and eco-psychology.
    Further information:
