Social Revolution with Ashley Colby
Sunday May 09, 2021
Sunday May 09, 2021
Can one person really change the world? No matter how many times we are told that ‘change starts with you’, it’s hard to believe that ‘little old me’ can change the world when we feel like we’re battling against governments and major corporations.
Ashley Colby is a badass who has studied social change, and is now living social change. She is an environmental sociologist who did her PhD at Washington State University, and in her book, she explores subsistence farming as a potentially revolutionary act. In her own words: “I am interested in and passionate about the myriad creative ways in which people are forming new social worlds in resistance to the failures of late capitalism and resultant climate disasters. I am a qualitative researcher so I tend to focus on the informal spaces of innovation. Before my current life I was once an itinerant overland international traveler, Chicago Tribune travel writer, and a long-haul, 18-wheel-driving trucker. I am now a mom to three beautiful girls, roommate to one husband (ha) and custodian to 2 cats, 2 dogs 2 cows and 5 chickens. I am now focused on doing anything I can to foment local, decentralized networks of people who can get us to the next iteration of society, and fast. The most urgent of these initiatives is a cooperative startup whose mission is to accelerate local economies (sulofair.com). You can find out more about my life and work in Uruguay at rizomafieldschool.com.”
In this episode, Ashley talks about collaboration, food production and the importance of a local community. She also has one of my favourite ‘calls to action’ of all time. Listen in to find out more.
