Astrida Neimanis is Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Feminist Environmental Humanities at the University of British Columbia. She is a cultural theorist working at the intersection of feminism and environmental change, and author of Bodies of Water: Posthuman Feminist Phenomenology (Bloomsbury, 2017) as well as co-author of How to Weather Together: Feminist Practice for Climate Change (Bloomsbury, 2026). In this episode, we explore how water lets us refigure our relationship to the more-than-human world, and discuss new communal and pedagogical practices for weathering our climate crises together.
