How can we transform global ecological crisis into a future where we humans thrive together with the community of life on our shared planet? What does it take to build a world rooted in justice and sustainability? From the Leadership for the Ecozoic initiative at the University of Vermont and McGill University, this is Radio Ecozoic. Join us as we seek to answer these questions with help from ecological economists, environmental anthropologists, legal scholars, and community stakeholders committed to restoring Earth's support systems through social justice principles.

Episode 3 - "The Sustainability Class", a conversation with authors Vijay Kolinjivadi and Aaron Vansintjan

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of hosting Aaron Vansintjan and Vijay Kolinjivadi at McGill University to discuss their new book, The Sustainability Class: How to Take Back Our Future from Lifestyle Environmentalists. This episode is a recording of their campus talk, where they share the personal experiences that led them to co-author the book, revealing what goes on behind the scenes at international climate negotiations. From backroom deals to corporate greenwashing, they break down how these summits shape the mainstream environmental agenda—and why that can be a problem. More than a critique, they present a compelling vision for a more sustainable future–one that is grounded in collective action.

Vijay is an assistant professor at the School for Community and Public Affairs at Concordia University in Montreal. He’s also a co-editor of the website Uneven Earth and has contributed to Al Jazeera, New Internationalist, Truthout, and The Conversation.

Aaron is the founder and co-editor of Uneven Earth and co-author of The Future Is Degrowth. His work has been featured in The Guardian, Truthout, openDemocracy, and The Ecologist.
