When you come across a challenge, what is your first impulse? To add or subtract? And what does it really mean to subtract?
In this episode, University of Virginia professor Leidy Klotz helps us understand the human tendency toward addition and what that means in the context of the relationship between humans and the rest of the earth.

In the 1990s, you could see one bumper sticker across the capital of Azerbaijan: "Happiness is multiple pipelines." Amid ever-complicating conversations about environmental resilience, the themes of diversification, redundancy, and (inter)dependence of energy infrastructure remain relevant.
In this episode, we talk with Dr. Adam Stulberg, Sam Nunn Professor and Chair in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, about the history of conflict and collaboration surrounding natural gas infrastructure -- and how it all remains relevant today.
In this episode, we dive deep into the history of infrastructure to uncover elements of both hardware and knowledge systems that hold us back from resilience to climate change.
Guest Mikhail Chester provides theoretical insight and lots of tangible examples of people who are figuring out how to improve infrastructure for a world of decreasing stability.
Dr. Chester's book: The Rightful Place of Science: Infrastructure in the Anthropocene

In this conversation with researcher, meteorologist, and science communicator Dr. Marshall Shepherd, we cover a lot of ground, connecting inequities in academia to environmental injustices associated with infrastructure and intensifying storms.
Did you know that a Koch-funded university think tank actually justified inaction on climate change by arguing that smog serves as a skin-cancer-reducing sunblock?
In this co-produced episode, the UnKoch My Campus team tells the story of working alongside students at George Washington University to push their school administration to address the Regulatory Studies Center, which has been linked to climate disinformation and deregulation — while the university attempts to tout a climate justice initiative agenda.
Hurricane Ida knocked the main New Orleans transmission tower into the Mississippi River, spurring a long-term power outage. Since then, persistent heavy rains have flooded New York subway stations and cascaded to reveal countless vulnerabilities in our critical infrastructure systems.
To explain these vulnerabilities and how we can grow in resilience, we talk with Vanderbilt University infrastructure, risk, and resilience expert Hiba Baroud.

Summary:
Gabe explains how Public Law 180 in Indiana, which operates to restrict the ability of local governments to regulate fuel sourcing and other sustainability measures, fits into a larger pattern of state governments hampering cities' and towns' efforts to engage in climate change solutions.

In this episode, we run all over the place, from EPA administration votes in Washington, D.C. to spring in Bloomington to scientific collaboration in the Arctic. But as with our ecosystem, it all turns out to be connected.
In this special Earth Day live show, we discuss food systems from the global to the hyperlocal. Hosts Gabe Filippelli and Jim Shanahan are joined by Cherilyn Yazzie, who helps run Coffee Pot Farms in Navajo Nation, agrarian political economy researcher Shreya Sinha, and Robert Williamson and Victoria Montaño, who work on the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust’s land team.

When you hear the word leadership, you may think about hierarchy. But it doesn't have to be that way.
In this episode, Laura Calandrella, author of Our Next Evolution: Transforming Collaborative Leadership to Shape Our Planet’s Future, helps us understand the importance of connection and relationship, dialogue and consensus. Her strategy is attentive to history and power dynamics. You know. The sort of long-term principles we need as climate change intensifies and demands greater collective resilience.

This week, Jim and Gabe discuss their reaction to the American Jobs Plan, which claims to aim to "unify and mobilize the country to meet the great challenges of our time: the climate crisis and the ambitions of an autocratic China." They talk budget sufficiency, electric vehicles, and more.
They also lament the brown goo that a late frost made of their magnolia blossoms.

What does it mean for policy to be quiet, for policy to successfully tip-toe its way through the U.S. legislative system and contribute to greater sustainability and resilience? Which parts can or should make more noise, and what informs our understanding of what is pragmatic and reasonable?
In this Air Check, Jim and Emily try to work through the concept of quiet climate policy, recently outlined in the context of a post-Covid world by the Breakthrough Institute (https://thebreakthrough.org/articles/saying-the-quiet-part-loud).
In this Air Check, professor and biogeochemist Gabriel Filippelli joins us again to talk about what a year in the pandemic has taught us about greenhouse gas emissions and our capacity to change systems. From the graphs to the big ideas, we cover a lot of ground in 15 minutes.
We kick off our mental health series with Dr. Susan Clayton, professor of psychology and environmental studies and chair of the psychology department at the College of Wooster. Together, we work to complicate our understanding of emotional engagement with climate, within and beyond the frame of grief and anxiety.

Will IU have a giant vaccination pod in a couple months’ time?
Will vaccinations be required for students to come back to campus in the fall? What WAS that lingering cough I had right before the outbreak?
Sounds like the kind of thing you’d ask Aaron Carroll.
We did! After two semesters of answering every question the IU community could think of in weekly webinars, he gamely came on the show to answer Dean Shanahan and Professor Monaghan’s burning questions as we round the corner toward mass vaccinations and a hopeful return to on-campus life.
In this Air Check, professor and biogeochemist Gabriel Filippelli joins us again to talk about ice, ocean currents, and what makes the Arctic so different from the Antarctic. We also briefly discuss lobsters. Listen to find out how it's all connected!

As utility operators across the country move to weatherize power grids and projections show another dry year for the Western U.S., what should we look out for? What questions should we be asking? Jim and Emily start the conversation.
IU Archives of African American Music and Culture Director Tyron Cooper has an insider’s view of Black music and the culture behind it, much of which goes back to the Black church.
He says that’s part of what makes AAAMC different: it looks at the broad context and origins of Black music, and makes it accessible for both scholarship and casual listening.
Cooper joins Dean Shanahan on Through the Gates to tell us more about the archives and share AAAMC Speaks, a documentary series hosted by the archives in partnership with the Office of the Provost.
The series brings the archives alive in a series of interviews with industry executives and performers in various genres of Black music. The first episode on Eddie Gilreath shows one of the first Black professionals to work at the executive level in the music industry.
Coming up are features on AAAMC founding director Dr. Portia Maultsby and the foundational jazz musician Reggie Workman.
Go to aaamc.indiana.edu to learn more about the archives.
How do you understand freedom and connection? Responsibility and the anthropocene? And how can we explain them to future generations?
Nathaniel Popkin, author of To Reach the Spring: From Complicity to Consciousness in the Age of Eco-Crisis, helps us think about these questions and more, offering moral, social, and psychological potential for a path to a future spring.

Deplatforming. Incitement. Section 230. Buzzwords are flying in the aftermath of the United States’ first transfer of power that was anything but peaceful. As online platforms grow and proliferate, How do we regulate social media while protecting the right to dissent?
