Health Reset: With Joia Mukherjee and Paul Farmer
“There is no contrast between fighting against Covid and fighting for black lives”
In Reimagine Series 2: Systems Reset, we’re seizing this moment to reimagine systems that are fit for purpose, and fit for everyone.
In episode 2, Peter talks to global health activist Dr Joia Mukherjee about reimaging our health systems in an age of pandemics. Joia describes herself as an “ass-kicking optimist, healer, singer and lover of humanity”. She is the chief medical officer at social justice and global health non-profit Partners in Health, and much of her work explores the intersection between healthcare and racism. What does she think an equitable global health system should look like?
Peter also catches up with Dr Paul Farmer, his guest in the very first episode of Reimagine, for an update on the long view of Covid-19 and what drove him to write his new book Fevers, Feuds and Diamonds: Ebola and the Ravages of History.
Reimagine is a podcast about people who are inventing the future. Presented by Oxford Answers and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. New episodes on Thursdays.

Redwoods In Rwanda
“Our actions in the next decade will determine the future of civilisation.”
(Indy Johar, Dark Matter Labs)
The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown our world into disarray. Far more than a public health crisis, the pandemic has triggered an economic crisis, a social crisis, and a governance crisis. It has contributed to a long overdue reckoning on deeply rooted systemic racial injustice. Meanwhile, extreme weather events signal the increasing urgency of our unfolding climate crisis.
All of these challenges predated Covid-19. But the pandemic has exposed and exacerbated flaws in our systems. While we all long for a return to normality after months of loss and sacrifice, is “back to normal” really what we want?
In Reimagine Series 2: Systems Reset, we’re seizing this moment to reimagine systems that are fit for purpose, and fit for everyone. Meet the visionaries who are revolutionising the story of who we are, and how we engage with the world. We’ll be talking about how to thrive in an entangled ecosystem, redesigning public health and economic systems, the kind of leadership we need in the 21st century, and more.
It’s time for a declaration of interdependence.
In the first episode of the new series, we explore what it means to think in systems. We’re going to go deep, exploring their invisible architecture, and then we’ll go long, discovering how radical long-term thinking can unlock innovation in the here and now. Peter talks to two great thinkers who say that in order to bring about change on the scale required, we first need to rethink how we see the world, and how we connect to it.
Indy Johar is an architect and institutional innovator who is working to radically redesign our future. He is a founding director of Dark Matter Labs, an analytics and design team that is developing new working methods for system change.
Dark Matter refers to the invisible architecture of our systems, which we tend not to notice until something goes wrong. But when systems fail, it’s usually catastrophic. That’s basically 2020 in a nutshell. Indy says our systems have errors in the deep code, and that it’s time for some reprogramming.
Roman Krznaric is a public philosopher whose book, The Good Ancestor, offers us tools to flip the script and cultivate long-term thinking in a world beset by short termism.

Next Episode
Climate Reset
In episode 3 Peter Drobac reimagines what our future could be like if we reset how we live with global climate action leader Christiana Figueres.
“Here we are stuck in the norm, without any reason to be stuck.”
Reimagine is a podcast about people who are inventing the future. And in this episode we’re talking climate change – what’s at stake, the cost of inaction and the opportunities that exist if we harness the sustainability revolution that Al Gore told us about in the last series. We’re in a perilous moment, but it’s not too late to act. This needs to be our decade of action, the decade when we make a climate reset.
Our guide is the inimitable Christiana Figueres. Christiana has been a force of nature in fostering global awareness and collective action on climate. As head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, she brokered the Paris Agreement of 2015, a landmark international agreement that laid out an ambitious agenda to fight climate change and adapt to its effects.
Since then, Christiana has continued work to accelerate the global response to climate change. She founded Global Optimism, which is currently persuading CEOs to commit to achieving net zero targets ahead of schedule. She’s also the co-host of the climate change podcast Outrage & Optimism.
Earlier this year Christiana published a book, The Future We Choose, with her podcast partner Tom Rivett-Carnac. While she doesn’t shy away from the risks we face if we don’t solve the climate crisis, she also gives us an awesome vision of what our future could look like if we do.
Reimagine is presented by Oxford Answers and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. New episodes on Thursdays.
Featuring:
Christiana Figueres (@CFigueres), former executive secretary, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; Partner Global Optimism; co-host Outrage & Optimism podcast; co-author The Future We Choose.
