In this episode, we sit down with Writer-in-Residence and Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Leah Naomi Green to continue this season’s central question: What is beauty? Approaching the question through poetry, ecology, and lived experience, Green reflects on beauty as a practice of attention rather than an attribute of prettiness.
