On the first episode of our new special series, Just Sustainability – Socially Engaged Philosophy at the Intersection of Sustainability and Social Justice, Amanda introduces us to Evelyn Brister.

Dr. Brister is an environmental philosopher and a philosopher of science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She’s written about a range of topics, including: climate governance, the problem of disciplinary capture in interdisciplinary areas (i.e. pretty much anything related to sustainability), and re-wilding. However, what particularly caught our attention (and which would be a terrific read for all of you who enjoy this podcast) was her recent book (co-authored with Robert Frodeman), A Guide to Field Philosophy: Case Studies and Practical Strategies.
