Tune into this delightful 40 minute conversation with Jamie, on Arrernte Country (in Alice Springs) about community development and environmental justice. We riff off a few topics, but the core of this conversation is a story of Jamie accompanying and learning from a community in Ireland as it struggles against fracking. It's a rich conversation, and in my reflections really foregrounds the importance of community development practitioners acquiring political literacies.
For those interested, Jamie refers to:

2. A community development journal article on his work: https://academic.oup.com/cdj/article-abstract/57/1/17/6481916?login=false
PS apologies at the 22 minutes mark for the overhead plane noise (flying into Alice Springs)
