Welcome to another episode of Crossing the Chasm. In this episode, Richard York, professor in Sociology and Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon, joins me to discuss the state of the world. Richard’s research and expertise has tremendous insights and implications for understanding the state of our world. He is a prolific author and has the unique ability to translate his deep knowledge in a way that is accessible to the public. On the show he discusses his perceptions, the role of education, the challenges we face, and his thoughts on how we can collectively meet the challenges we face. I am grateful for Richard talking with us and hope you enjoy the conversation. Thanks so much for listening – enjoy the show! https://sociology.uoregon.edu/profile/rfyork/

Crossing the Chasm with Jess Rimington

Crossing the Chasm explores why we are so disconnected/what does connection mean and how can we become mobilized to create change for ecological and human flourishing. Episodes explore topics related to this theme by diagnosing problems but then put forth alternative visions for our society. The show explores and ultimately intends to overcome the chasm that divides where we are from where we want to go. In short, the podcast seeks to create connection by envisioning a better world.
