We explore guests’ personal journeys with hope, how they’ve formed and navigated the three pillars of having hope - goals, agency and pathway.

Discipline of Hope & Environmental Justice with Jocelyn Longdon

In this episode Jayda and Jocelyn explore the intricate intersections of climate science, social justice, and technology, with Jocelyn offering really interesting perspectives on finding hope for the climate. Joycelyn shares her journey from an unconventional background in astrophysics and journalism to her groundbreaking work in conservation technology. Delving into her platform, Climate in Colour, and her PhD research in bioacoustics, Joycelyn discusses the importance of centring indigenous knowledge and addressing environmental racism. She also unpacks how our perceptions of success are deeply impacted by colonialism and the need to shift towards more inclusive, just frameworks. This episode tackles the nuanced concept of hope within the climate movement, emphasising that hope is a discipline involving stamina and long-term commitment rather than immediate wins. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that offers new perspectives on building a just and hopeful future through community and innovation.
