Planetary Choices
The podcast 'Planetary Choices' is created and produced by the Research Center for New Critical Politics and Governance, located at Aarhus University, Denmark.
The concept of 'The Planetary' has gained increasing traction in almost all scientific disciplines. From physics, to literature, to history, law and economics — planetary thinking and policy making is taking more sophisticated shapes, amounting to an emerging new paradigm.
In season 1, called "Mapping the Planetary", we map and assess the concept of the planetary, where we stand today, and in which direction planetary thinking and activism may develop in the future.
With this podcast, we also intend to explore scholarly research through an alternative venue of dissemination that allows for aural intimacy, faster publishing and full open access. As each episode contributes to a larger question investigated throughout a season, every episode becomes a data point on its own, consequently making "Planetary Choices" a place of output and on-going research.
Join us and explore the big questions of our planet!
