About this episode
Was Covid-19 the ultimate wake-up call about how we live on planet earth?
Looking at the effect on the environment of a near-stoppage of the world's economies, the first lecture explores emerging perspectives and some of the guiding principles about surviving and thriving when we have a greater understanding of nature. These experiences are used to throw light on how some of the traditions of indigenous peoples mirror our scientific understanding of how the natural world functions.
A lecture by Jacqueline McGlade 13 October
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
