Professor Frank Furedi joins the Elevate Podcast this evening to offer a cautionary tale about the ‘New Normal’ and look at where it may all be heading. Join us to explore how we can preserve human agency and become the authors of our own destiny. Professor Frank Furedi will likely be a familiar face to our audience. Back in June 2021, Frank joined our Question Everything summit where he spoke about the illusory trade off between freedom and safety. He has been widely cited about his views on why Western societies find it so difficult to engage with risk and uncertainty and in this interview we explore whether the emerging characteristics of our present culture threaten our individual agency. Professor Furedi has produced a series of impactful books that have challenged the status quo and been widely discussed in the media. His writings have been translated into 13 languages and he regularly comments on international radio and television.

In this episode, I speak with Vijay Prashad, executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, about the bigger picture surrounding the conflict in Ukraine. We take a look at the historical perspectives to better understand the conflict and more broadly ask, how we can pursue a world that is free from violent conflict?

Apologies for the technical issues following our first attempt. In this live premiere Helena Norberg-Hodge, founder of Local Futures, discusses how the pandemic and now the war in Ukraine have accelerated the need for systemic change. Through the analysis of what is happening at a micro and macro level, we begin to piece together how we can bring about change through engaging with 'Big Picture Activism'. Conversations like this are needed right now. Come with us on this journey as we examine how each and every one of us can play our part in leading change. Join us here http://www.weareelevate.org
