17. Environmental justice and the giant bluefin tuna

in this episode, Associate Professor Jennifer E. Telesca tells us about environmental justice and the different narratives around the giant bluefin tuna. Jennifer is the author of the book ‘Red Gold: The Managed Extinction of the Giant Bluefin Tuna’ where she explores the decline of the endangered giant bluefin tuna and asks how it is still declining in size regardless of the regulations set in place to conserve it. We answer questions about what it is like working within an interdisciplinary space where both environmentalism and international diplomacy are important aspects and how this has formed Jennifer’s work.
