Episode 1 - Roots of Representation: Black Ecologies and Interdisciplinary Storytelling
As part of the NSF Funded BlackRep4Kids project, we’ve launched a podcast series with our partners at ABF Creative to build awareness of the knowledge and skills required to create quality climate-related media for Black children. The podcast is called “Roots of Representation,” and it engages these topics through thought-provoking conversations with experts.
In this leadoff episode, host and project principal investigator Dr. Ed Greene speaks with Dr. Fikile Nxumalo about ways to bring the climate-related concerns and responses of Black communities into an educational curriculum dominated by colonial erasures and deficit framings.
