In this enlightening episode of
From the Ground Up, we delve deep with
Dr. Derrick Hudson, a distinguished professor of international relations at the Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Hudson unpacks the ethical considerations surrounding natural resources, especially within the African context. Drawing from examples like the transformative Green Belt Movement in Kenya and emphasizing the importance of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), he offers a fresh perspective on achieving equitable and sustainable development. Dr. Hudson also touches on the challenges of National Content Policies, the role of education in fostering equity in STEM fields, and the real-world implications of diversity, inclusion, and access (DI&A) in the mining and energy sectors. Join us for a deep dive into the intersections of geopolitics, natural resources, and social justice.
