About Planetary Choices

Planetary Choices is a transdisciplinary academic podcast produced by the Center for New Critical Politics and Governance located at Aarhus University, Denmark. In each episode, scholars, policymakers, and activists explore critical questions concerning our shared planetary future. The podcast brings together perspectives on how we understand and respond to the challenges of our time. Across thematic seasons, Planetary Choices provides a forum for conversations on how to think differently about planetary politics, governance and the future ahead. As each episode contributes to a larger question investigated throughout a season, every episode becomes a data point on its own, consequently making "Planetary Choices" a place of output and on-going research. Join us and explore the big questions of our planet!
