Sustainable Masculinities
Podcast Pierrea Smitha Khanne dio je njegova Junior Research Fellowshipa.
We are facing an ecological crisis in which inequality within and between countries is on the rise and climate change worsens year on year, affecting the lives of countless humans and ecosystems around the world. The recognition that men have played a key role in developing, benefiting from and upholding this destructive paradigm leads us to question: what might a non-exploitative paradigm look like? What new roles might men play in bringing it into being and what challenges might they face in the process?
In this episode we take a look at the intersections of degrowth, commoning and care. Giacomo explains how economic growth relies on various forms of exploitation such as unpaid reproductive labour which is often produced by women, discusses the notion of cost-shifting, and why care must take centre stage when discussing degrowth as well as new forms and enactments of masculinities.
