New Podcast: The Temporal Imagination

Exploring the times and rhythms of a just transition

The result of a whole year of work, this new podcast (in English, with close captions in the video version) offers a sensitive and rigorous exploration of the ways in which our experience of time and rhythms shapes our view of the world and, more specifically, how we understand the issues associated with climate change and the transition to greater sustainability.

Hosted by Michel Alhadeff-Jones and Keri Facer, this podcast opens up a space for transdisciplinary reflection where knowledge from anthropology, architecture, the arts, ecology, education, geography, history, law, linguistics, literature, philosophy, and political science intersect. Over the course of 11 episodes, Michel and Keri engage in dialogue with 21 researchers, activists, and artists from five continents to revisit our representations of time, question dominant rhythms, and imagine other, more sustainable and just temporalities.

This podcast is for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the links between temporalities, rhythms, and social and environmental transformations. It offers intellectual resources for those who wish to nourish and renew their social, political, and educational imagination. The 11 episodes (including their transcripts) are available on the Sunkhronos Institute’s website, on Apple Podcast, and on YouTube (including video and close captions).

This podcast has been produced with the support of the British Academy Global Convening Grant "The Times of a Just Transition".
