Decolonizing Climate Research with Dr. Enoch Tse

The Environment in Canada Podcast episode 80 with Dr. Enoch Tse on decolonizing climate research. You can listen to the episode on The Harbinger Media Network, IHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or our website below:

Co-host Diktshya Sharma asks Dr. Enoch Tse what does it mean for climate research in Canada to be reciprocal rather than extractive? How do worldviews about the human-nature relationship shape the kinds of questions researchers even think to ask? What would it actually look like for a research project to give back, instead of just taking?

Dr. Tse is a Professional Engineer, is co-chair of the Anti-Racism and Respectful Workplace Advisory Committee and division lead of the Anti-Racism Action Plan with the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, and an Adjunct professor (Social Psychology) and (Advocacy) at Adler University.

Diktshya is a Bhutanese climate worker based in Toronto. Drawing on her studies in Economics and Psychology at the University of Toronto, she applies behavioural insight to land-based climate initiatives that honour traditional knowledge and community well-being. She is currently an executive member with Sierra Youth, focusing on events and communications.
