About this episode

The episode discusses power dynamics that enable abuse in professional settings and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the agency of others in solarpunk societies.

In this essay, I discuss Nussbaum's work on the power dynamics that allow abusers to harass women in professional settings, sometimes for years. In solarpunk societies, we must be aware of how power dynamics blind us so that we can keep our eyes open. This requires us to actually care about the agency and goals of the other rather than only our own agency and goals.
