Ishan Aggarwal

I am an activist researcher, who’s been independently working (i.e. mostly resting) for a little over a year. As an autodidact, I dabble at the intersection of climate communications, systems thinking and political economics. Formerly, a mathematics graduate turned startup founder turned capital markets trader turned zero waste advocate turned Extinction Rebellion organizer, I spend countless hours now peering into the infinity of skies and nothingness of ceilings trying to imagine a regenerative future. I am an aspiring gardener who wishes to cook more, manage an animal sanctuary and write a book one day.

Critical ecofeminism as a panacea for our ecological identity crisis

In Western society and culture, which is now dominant or prevalent globally, women are treated as inferior to men, ‘nature’ is treated as inferior to ‘culture’, and humans are understood as being separate from, and often superior to, the natural environment. Dualism’s logical structure of otherism and negation lies at the root of propelling and exacerbating the problem.
