Description

In this episode, you’ll meet anthropologist Sophie Chao and a few others you’ve already encountered earlier in the season - social scientist Micah Fisher, political ecologist Irendra Radjawali and scholar Rini Astuti. We discuss the limitations of modern cartography and what we miss when we privilege the visual above all other perspectives.

The Data Dialogues podcast brings together multiple perspectives to look at a single environmental data issue. Created by Open Environmental Data Project (OEDP), where we are building spaces to grow the global conversation on environmental data access and use.

6. Averaged-out data = averaged-out people: Together in their full dialogue with Angela, Daphne Frias & Jarah Moesch swap stories about disability-related air travel data (or lack thereof) and bemoan the way things break when you look for quick fixes, whether it comes to climate change, disability access, or data visualization. by Data Dialogues

4. Climate change is a disabling event: Disabled youth climate activist Daphne Frias has a lot to say about gatekeeping in the environmental movement, from the lack of information in Spanish to disabled communities' inability to access data about themselves.

19 min listen
Right place, right time: the ideal conditions for a OneMap policy: Global powers outsourced climate responsibilities to Indonesia with a deceptively simple idea: the Global North would pay Indonesian villages to not deforest.

22 min listen
