Planet Repair – Pre-Figuring a New World 3rd Space: Welcome to 3rd Space, Esther. I am going to dive straight in. (Smiles) Given the current systemic and existential crisis we’re facing globally through climate change and ecological breakdown, could you tell us about your work and how it relates to this crisis? Esther: That is a big question. But it’s an excellent question. I’ll begin by explaining my work as a ‘reparationist’, which basically means a reparations scholar, activist, and campaigner. When people think about reparations, it’s usually narrowed to issues of financial compensation. But essentially reparations is about stopping harm and repairing damage.
