LABS: Peggy Seeger and Prof. Tim Coulson on Eco-Feminism

Recorded Live at the Museum of Natural History in Oxford, England
on August 8th, 2024. Folk icon Peggy Seeger talks with Oxford
University Biology Professor Tim Coulson about her experience as
feminist, ecologist, activist, mother, musician, Seeger and more.
Eco Feminism can be defined as a branch of feminism and political
ecology that explores the connections between women and nature. The
theory argues that the oppression of women and the degradation of
our natural environment are linked and caused by patriarchal,
capitalist systems. Further, ecofeminist theory calls for an
egalitarian, collaborative society in which there is no one
dominant group. Professor Coulson provides compelling context from
scholarship to further amplify these ideas including description of
pre-patriarchal societies, the importance of educating women in
developing countries and more.
