On Stories, Species, and Seeing Ourselves — A Conversation with Gadfly Stratton

There’s something quite special about opening a new season of Coffee & Geography with a guest who shifts the way you think about a topic you thought you understood. My conversation with Gadfly Stratton, an environmental researcher based in Ontario, did exactly that. I expected to talk about invasive species, and we certainly did; but what I wasn’t expecting was how effortlessly this would unfold into a deeper reflection on community, identity, belonging, and who gets to participate in science in the first place.
