Intergenerational Justice: Just Justice Podcast

Details

Article

For their 2020 John Lewis Fellowship final group project, Fellows Mahir Turkmen, Sonja Kosanović, Beth Awano, Keely Kriho, Piper Prolago decided to create a podcast addressing the topic “Intergenerational Justice.”

The Just Justice Podcast takes a look at the idea and practice of intergenerational justice and answers the questions: What is intergenerational justice? What does or could intergenerational justice look like when applied to climate justice? How can intergenerational justice be used as a tool to begin to combat climate change at the theoretical and practical level? To answer these questions, the team interviewed three guests who each bring a unique perspective to the intersectionality of the two themes, intergenerational justice and climate justice. Below are short bios of each guest and ways to engage further with their work:
