Radio Interview on Activist Training
Steve Chase
radio show broadcast by co-hosts Greg Lawson, Steve Best, and
Elizabeth Walsh on KTEP--the NPR station in El Paso. Every other
Sunday evening at 7:30, these three activists offer a unique radio
program that focuses on animals rights, human health, and related
issues such as vegetarianism and environment activism. I was very
pleased when Steve Best called the EAOP office and asked if he and
Greg could interview me about activist training in general and the
Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program at Antioch University
New England, in particular. I also loved that they chose to broadcast
the twenty-three minute interview on their Earth Day show on April 22,
2007.
I have now received the permission of KTEP's general manager to offer
this Earth Day edition of ACT Radio as a downloadable audio file
through Real Player via the EAOP's "The Well-Trained Activist" blog.
So, if you want to access links to ACT Radio or the interview, go to
http://eaop-blog.blogspot.com. In the interview, I discuss my personal
journey to activism, the growth of my concern for environmental
issues, two of the key educational inspirations behind the
Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program, some key elements of
the EAOP curriculum, and the importance of increasing the number and
quality of activist training programs within institutions of higher
learning.
While you are at "The Well-Trained Activist" blog, you can also check
out my recent posts on the national conference on Psychology-Ecology-
Sustainability in Portland, Oregon, including my most recent PES post
on "avoiding ethical onesideness."
All my best,
Steve
