Environmentalism and collectivism in Asian cultures with Ziya Tong
Manage episode 286483553 series 2808419
Extremely excited to share this insightful episode with Ziya Tong, former host of the Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet and currently on the board of WWF. She talks about growing up in Hong Kong, her Chinese-Macedonian background and all things STEM. From breaking the myth that environmentalism is rooted in whiteness, Asian collectivism values vs. Western capitalist societies, to the dichotomy of Chinese people vs. China, the empire, Ziya takes us on a journey of understand perspectives from all lenses. Also on the docket, Bling Empire.
Recently she’s re-released a hardcover copy of her book, The Reality Bubble, exploring blind spots, hidden truths, and the dangerous illusions that shape our world (find it on our site.)Thank you again Ziya for such a great thought-provoking conversation.
