93. AAA 2025 Part 3: Environment, Disaster, Viable Futures

This episode of AnthroPod is the third in a miniseries sharing highlights from talks organized by the Society for Cultural Anthropology at the 2025 meeting of the American Anthropological Association. The presentations we’ll share with you today deal with the disastrous world we live in, a world where capitalist interests and geopolitical conflict threaten traditional forms of agriculture and land custodianship, where enduring violence and conflict have joined forces with anthropogenic climate change to drive communities to ruin. But we’ll also share presentations about people who are imagining and developing livable futures, learning from lessons from their past and rekindling their relations with the environment and nonhuman others.

Kristin Skrabut
