Divestment Generation Mini Series - Episode 4

  • Summary

  • This is Episode 4 of the “Divestment Generation” mini series, a five episode series exploring the 9 year campaign to win fossil fuel divestment at the University of Toronto! In Episode 4, creators and co-hosts Amanda Harvey-Sánchez and Julia DaSilva speak with “Fourth Gen” divestment organizers - those who were involved in the campaign from 2019 until the big win in October 2021 and its immediate aftermath. Our “Fourth Gen” guests are Rivka Goetz, James Slaven, Leila Tjiang, and Léo Jourdan.


    In our song segment, CJTO member Rebecca and participants from CJTO’s September 2022 Orientation lead you in the seventh and eighth verses of a special adaptation of the movement song “Which Side Are You On?”, originally by Pete Seeger. Stay tuned for the fifth and final episode in the “Divestment Generation” mini series to hear the full song!


    This mini series emerges from Amanda’s doctoral research with CJTO, a two-year ethnographic community-based participatory research project tentatively entitled “Actualizing Everything: Affective Activism, Effective Politics, and the Future of Climate Justice Organizing in Canada”.
