When Women Hold the World

In this inaugural episode of When Women Hold the Earth, we, Ananya, Courtney, Debarati, and Denise, hold hands across space and time zones to explore the idea of the anthropocene, its history, and ramifications. Afterwards, we present to you three women writers and thought leaders, Octavia Butler, Hannah Crafts, and Arundhati Roy, who have pushed back against the capitalist and neoliberal economies that are characteristic of the anthropocene and without which the concept loses its vigor and vitality. We urge you to listen carefully to the voices of these 3 authors and consider how they shift your own understanding of who you are, who you must become, and what actions you must take as you continue your journey as an educator, a scholar, and a planetary being. About this Podcast We are four women with a shared love of teaching, learning, AND a deep & abiding love for the planet. We yearn for joy, community, and our individual and collective longevity. This podcast, both fierce and tender, humorous and serious, is our attempt to draw attention to the climate crisis and how women from the Global South have used a variety of strategies to center attention on Planet Earth. Be ready to learn from the forgotten, the ignored, the established, and the emergent. Be ready to listen and to take action. Be ready to explore the possibilities that emerge when women hold the earth.
