Author Elizabeth Weinberg joins me to discuss her book Unsettling: Surviving Extinction Together. Elizabeth and I discuss the multiple meanings of her book’s title, the nature/culture dichotomy, social justice, queerness and liminal spaces, and gentrification and colonization. Also, please forgive the audio distortion in spots, though I don’t think it isn’t too bad. And please forgive my misgendering of Robin Wall Kimmerer. I wasn't automatically assuming she was male, I thought that I had read something where she was referred to in the masculine. That is my error.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.
