#04 Will Arnold Schwarzenegger Save the Planet (with Martin Hultman) Sustainable Masculinities
-
- Society & Culture
In this episode we revisit one of our podcasts’ principle inspirations: Ecological Masculinities: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Guidance. Martin discusses men’s lack of involvement in the environmental movement, the threat ecomodernism poses to enacting the deep changes needed to avert ecological collapse, and the persona of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the embodiment of the new macho-yet-caring man. I also ask Martin about practical work on ecologising masculinities via a project called ‘Under the Pine Trees’, and how the group responded to some of the challenges that came up for them.
