Site C and High Modernity

Summary: In British Columbia, energy experts want to transition off of fossil fuels. We look at B.C.’s indigenous history to ask whether the province can decarbonize and decolonize at the same time. Today on the show we talk to Leigh Phillips, a science writer with the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, and Caleb Behn, an Eh-Cho Dene and Dunne Za activist and lawyer. Caleb is a Working Group Chair on the Decolonizing Water project and the subject of the documentary film Fractured Land. Cited is a podcast and radio show funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and produced out of the world class Michael Smith Laboratories at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
