Earth to Research is a podcast that reimagines research in times of ecological crisis. Created for early-career researchers, postgraduates, and sustainability professionals, the series explores ways to align research practices with environmental justice and ecological accountability.
Through conversations with a diverse range of guests, and featuring sounds from emerging artists, the podcast touches on positionality, eco-emotions, small stories, and transformative approaches. Each of the 8 episodes focuses on a timely topic and reveals transferable insights:
- Transformative research, part 1: storytelling and solidarity
- Transformative research, part 2: justice and emotions
- Myths and Rituals: Art-science, degrowth, and sustainable tech
- Planetary health, part 1: expelling Shell
- Planetary health, part 2: climate and intersectionality
- Food for thought: two-eyed seeing and systems thinking
- Care in microplastics science: from lab to ocean
- Slow AI: Future knowledges and machine spells
Earth to Research aims to inspire dialogue, foster ethical practice, and contribute to systemic change that benefits research communities and the worlds they study. Presented and produced by Lucy Sabin, Earth to Research is an RE4GREEN (Horizon Europe) project, supported by the Open Science Promotion fund, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
