Episode 1 of Pedagogies for the Future, which explores teaching sustainability in higher education and beyond.

In this episode, we reflect back on our first conversation, unpack a key concept a little further, and link to the different resources mentioned in the episode.

Co-hosts Hannah Ascough and Tai Munro reflect on what it means to build a relationship with yourself and how that relationship contributes to and grows from the other relationships in our lives.

Key Ideas from the Episode We Keep Thinking About

• Relationships are essential for sustainability work
• We have to take care of ourselves if we are going to address the heaviness of the world
• We have to be careful not to fall into the productivity trap
• We don’t need to have the answers
• Institutions and society can make self-care challenging
