Scholarly Podcast: “Listening to Fire Knowledges in and around the Okanagan Valley” by Judith Burr (UBC Department of Geography), featured in Issue no. 220 (Winter 2023/24). Clips from Episode 3, "The lighter footprint of fire." “This podcast series explores the ways that fire history informs present and future ways of living with and understanding fire in and around this Valley. It is a contribution to interdisciplinary and public conversations about life with fire. It centers on fourteen oral history and expert interviews and two field recordings. Each interviewee holds specific and often plural forms of expertise and understandings of life with fire in and around the Okanagan.” - Abstract Excerpt Listen to full episodes on our website! https://tinyurl.com/h3hsc7rt

Scholarly Podcast: “Listening to Fire Knowledges in and around the Okanagan Valley” by Judith Burr (UBC Department of Geography), featured in Issue no. 220 (Winter 2023/24). Clips from Episode 1, "Pick your poison, or pick your medicine." “The Okanagan Valley of the southern interior of British Columbia has been shaped by fire for millennia: by cultural burning by First Nations communities, by lightning fires, and by patterns of settler-colonial burning and fire suppression. In the wake of large and severe wildfire seasons and predictions of worsening wildfires fueled by climate change, there are calls for both interdisciplinary problem-solving among fire experts and for more public engagement to transform how we live with fire in British Columbia.” - Abstract Excerpt Listen to full episodes on our website! https://tinyurl.com/h3hsc7rt #wildfire #britishcolumbia #bcwildfire #climatechange #ClimateAction #firesafety #environment #scholarly #podcast #journal #bcstudies #fireseason
