Environmental Activism: An interview with Kavita Purohit and Dipa Patel
Back again from both the chaos and peace of finishing our MSc programmes and adjusting to the next chapter of becoming LSE alum, the Can You Hear Us team is back to begin an ongoing series of interviews and discussions surrounding activism. In light of the commitments and global discussions marking the COP26 Climate Summit in late 2021, typhoon Rai in the Philippines and the Colorado wildfires, amongst others, the first episode of the new season focuses on environmental activism, where we interview Dipa Patel, LSE international development department Communications and Events Manager by day, London National Park Ranger by night, and Kavita Purohit, an environmental engineer- turned- doughnut economics researcher. Dipa and Kavita bring personal insights from community-based and industry perspectives on sustainability, under representation within environmental justice, and the importance of diversity and collaboration in environmentalist efforts.
