Ecologies of Communication with Nora Bateson and Morag Gamble

Sense-Making in a Changing World

In this episode, I welcome Nora Bateson - an eminent systems thinker, filmmaker, writer and President of the International Bateson Institute - to explore the complexities of our interconnected world with intergenerational insight and clarity. This episode is part of the recorded series from the International Festival of Ideas, held in May 2024.
Nora's session was the final event in the Festival of Ideas, holding the closing together with readings and insights from her latest book 'Combining', a blend of intellectual inquiry, essays, emotional engagement, storytelling, poetry, and graphic art.
Exploring our ecologies of communication and highlighting permaculture-inspired responses is so important in response to the polycrisis, and Nora's transcontextual approach is a wonderful combination of nourishment, circulation, living and relating.
Learn more about Nora's work at her website and find her book, 'Combining', here.
