Big Ideas with Kate J. Neville

Our Big Ideas series offers a space for non-fiction writers to share their life-changing insights on some of today’s most pressing topics.

“Going to Seed explores questions of idleness, considering the labour both of humans and of the myriad other inhabitants of the world. Drawing on science, literature, poetry, and personal observation, these winding and sometimes playful essays pay attention to the exertions and activities of the other-than-human lives that are usually excluded from our built and settled spaces, asking whose work and what kinds of work might be needed for a more just future for all.”

Join us for this Big Ideas hour, a moment for us to slow down, to idle, and to listen to Kate J. Neville discuss the larger ideas in her latest work.
