Hello! I'm Michael Gaskill, your new host for Coast Range Radio. I'm hard at work putting together brand new episodes for the show, and we have some great guests lined up.
I'm also always looking for feedback, show ideas, and guest suggestions! Email me at michael@coastrange.org.
In the meantime, I wanted to replay on of my favorite epsiodes from the past couple years of the show. This is actually part one of a great two-part conversation between Andrew and Levi Van Sant (@LeviVanSant), an Assistant Professor at George Mason University in Fairfax County Virginia whose work focuses on environmental (in)justice, particularly issues surrounding food, agriculture, and land use. I highly recommend checking out part two of their conversation as well.
Levi wrote a formative piece in Dissent on Land Reform and the Green New Deal that influenced the Coast Range Association’s recent Climate & Oregon’s Industrial Forests: A Green New Proposal. Andrew and Levi discuss agricultural land transitions, the history of the First National Conference for Land Reform and the unifying opportunities that could come from including rural justice and land ownership solutions in the just transition mandate of the Green New Deal.
