Summary
In this episode, Sadiah Qureshi invites us to unravel histories of science, race, and empire to understand the social dynamics that we have inherited in the present. How do we begin to heal from constructs of division and racialization that have led to real-life consequences and systemic injustices for so many?
Join us as we discuss how historical contexts influence how knowledge is shaped, the presumptions underlying “conservation” and “de-extinction” projects to interrogate, and more.

| 0:00.0 | I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent |
| 0:07.9 | podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those |
| 0:13.7 | considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question. |
| 0:22.3 | So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out. |
| 0:26.8 | We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast. |

| 0:54.6 | As much as I value these histories, |
| 0:57.0 | and I think the one thing that they should do |
| 0:58.8 | is empower us to know what not to do |
| 1:02.3 | or how to reimagine things so that they're actually a form of hope, |
| 1:05.6 | of being informed, of being aware of how we need to make better choices and using these histories in order |
| 1:13.4 | to choose more wisely. |
| 1:16.1 | It's far more common to just feel completely and utterly overwhelmed or unable to do anything. |
| 1:24.3 | But there's so many different ways in which we can use that knowledge, in which we |
| 1:28.0 | can use our passions and so on, to actually both choose wisely, encourage others to choose |
| 1:33.9 | wisely, but also hold power to account. |
| 1:42.4 | You're listening to Green Dreamer, and I'm your host, Kamehashane. |
