From Aristotle to Waste Colonialism w/Jesi Taylor Cruz

Explicit content warning

02/21/22 • 55 min

Please enjoy my conversation with Black Jewish philosopher Jesi Taylor Cruz on waste colonialism, flourishing, and anti-colonial philosophy. You might notice the sounds of life, aka seagulls on my side and the hustle and bustle of New York and the coos of a small human on Jesi’s side. I hope this only adds to your enjoyment.

Content note: There is some swearing in this episode as well as discussions of colonial violence, ableism and racism.

Jesi mentions the works of Max Liboiron and you can find a list of their articles here:
