Just Sustainability, Episode 26A: Clement Loo and reflecting on the Just Sustainability Podcast
In this episode we decided to do something slightly different from what we usually do on the Just Sustainability Podcast. When we finished recording for their episodes at the end of last season, liz Thomson suggested that it might be fun for them to interview me for this podcast. I agreed that the idea did sound fun and thought a couple of episodes featuring me might be a good way to start season 4. Moreover, it seems only fair — after I’ve invited 25 of my friends to appear on this show, be remarkably vulnerable, and reveal a lot about themselves and their work — that I should also perhaps reveal a bit more about myself as well.
I usually provide a bit of a professional introduction of the guests on this podcast to contextual the conversations that I have with them. So, I will do the same for myself:
Clement Loo is a Lecturer/Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies and the Student Success Coordinator in the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Intercultural Programs at the University of Minnesota Morris. In those roles I write, podcast, and teach classes about sustainability, climate ethics, and environmental/sustainability justice. I also coordinate the Gateway Program and co-coordinate the Sustainability Leadership minor (with Ed Brands) and the Intercultural Sustainability Leaders Program (with Troy Goodnough, Michelle Montgomery, and Paisley Sierra) at UMN Morris.
In addition to my work at UMN Morris I am also a member of the Faculty Leadership Council and an Educator at the Institute on the Environment, a member of the board of the Southwest Regional Sustainability Partnership, and a member of the Advisory Council of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
