Planetary Dysregulation, Capitalism, And Healthcare | Episode 3 - Health Systems

The intention of this audio project is to discuss the links between systems and imaginations rooted in supremacy, the dysregulation of planetary systems, and the poor health outcomes being experienced by peoples who are racialised and minoritised. We also aim to dismantle the individualised health narrative propagated by western medicine as it has been used to blame people for their poor health, which helps propagate health injustice. As we go through the audio story we will be using certain linguistic baselines

*Nature and all living beings are referred to in a plural form as we are all ecosystems. We are all plural.

**The use of the letter “s” at the end of words such as knowledges is to signify that Indigeneity is not a monolith and holds multiple cultures, thoughts, and knowledges. It also is inclusive of non-human knowledges.

This episode will open with Rhiannon who will be discussing how the system of capitalism affects our health systems. The section will end with Araceli describing how the individualisation of health narrative erases both Indigenous and non-human Kin healing knowledges.
