Navigating the Storm: Towards Coexisting Ways of Knowing in Approaching Environmental Distress.

🌍 Bridging ways of knowing in Planetary Health
At this year’s Planetary Health Annual Meeting, the theme “for all and in all” calls for truly inclusive approaches to health and sustainability.

Current practices in Planetary Health still lean strongly on Western frameworks. To build the urgency, agency, and resilience needed for real systems change, we must give equal value to diverse ways of knowing.

My Ph.D. research, guided by the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing, explores how Indigenous and Western worldviews can coexist and inform one another in approaching environmental distress. I was able to share these ideas through a poster contribution at #PHAM2025.
