04/09/23 - Vanessa Machado de Oliveira Andreotti (Repeat)
This week we're revisiting Tiokasin Ghosthorse's conversation with Professor Vanessa Machado de Oliveira Andreotti, author of “Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and Implications for Social Activism” (North Atlantic Books, 2021). The original broadcast aired in March 2023. Tiokasin will be back with a new episode the week of April 24th.
Vanessa is a Latinx professor at the University of British Columbia and holds a Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change. Vanessa began her career as a teacher in Brazil in 1994 and has since led educational and research programs in countries including the UK, Finland, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Brazil, and Canada. She works across sectors in international and comparative education, particularly focusing on global justice and citizenship, Indigenous and community engagement, sustainability, and social and ecological responsibility.
Her research examines relationships between historical, systemic, and ongoing forms of violence, and the inherent unsustainability of modernity. Vanessa is one of the founding members of Gesturing Decolonial Futures Collective (decolonialfutures.net) and Teia das 5 Curas, an international network of Indigenous communities mostly in Canada and Latin America. She currently collaborates with with these groups to direct research projects and learning initiatives related to global healing and wellbeing in times of unprecedented challenges.
