In episode 9 of Mapping the Planetary, hosts Hagen Schulz-Forberg and James Quilligan welcome Stefano Bartolini, Associate Professor at the University of Siena, whose research explores Political Economy, Social Economy, and the Economics of Happiness. Together, they ask a fundamental question: Can economic prosperity coexist with genuine human well-being and planetary sustainability? The conversation examines how modern economies might evolve beyond growth-centered models to embrace a more holistic understanding of prosperity, one that values social connection, leisure, environmental balance, and happiness as much as material wealth.

In the final episode of Mapping the Planetary, Daniela Russ, Junior Professor at the University of Leipzig, joins hosts Hagen Schulz-Forberg and James Quilligan to explore the fascinating intersections of energy, science, and planetary thoughts in the early Soviet Union (1917â1945). Drawing on the pioneering work of scientists Vladimir Vernadsky and Boris Veinberg, the conversation reveals how Soviet thinkers imagined planetary transformation, in both scientific and political contexts and how these early renditions of planetary thinking, still resonate in todayâs debates on the environmentalism, globalism and the Anthropocene.

In episode 7 of Mapping the Planetary, we speak with Amanda Janoo, Economics and Policy Lead at the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll)âa global network of changemakers working to transform our economic systems.
Janoo introduces WEAllâs core mission: to prioritize the wellbeing of people and the planet over traditional, GDP-centered models of growth. She outlines how rethinking economic frameworks and embracing participatory, goal-driven policy design can pave the way for more just, sustainable, and resilient economies.
The conversation explores the meaning and importance of a âwellbeing economy,â the shortcomings of conventional growth metrics, and the potential of collaborative policymaking to shape a more equitable future.

In Episode 6 of Mapping the Planetary, Or Rosenboim, Professor of Contemporary History at Bologna University, joins us to explore the evolving concept of global orderâfrom classical frameworks to contemporary debates about the future.
Rosenboim invites us to see globalization not just as a process, but as a lens through which to interpret the world. She questions whether the idea of a fixed âworld orderâ is itself misguided and provocatively suggests that embracing disorder could help us reimagine planetary politics.
Is it time to rethink the very notion of âworld orderâ? Could embracing disorder offer new approaches to global governance? And what lessons can todayâs leaders draw from historical debates about global order?

In Episode 5 of Mapping the Planetary, Jussi Parikka, Professor of Digital Aesthetics and Culture at Aarhus University, joins us to discuss his latest book, Living Surfaces: Images, Plants, and Environments of Media, published in 2024.
Parikkaâs work explores the intersections of media history, ecology, and geology, highlighting how digital infrastructures and media technologies both shapeâand are shaped byânatural environments.
We delve into how media operates not just as a tool or platform, but as an environmental force intertwined with the living surfaces of the planet. Parikka offers insights into how artistic, technological, and ecological practices converge in the age of planetary crisis.

In Episode 4 of Mapping the Planetary, Ryan Bishop, Professor of Global Art and Politics at the University of Southampton, joins us to explain how the technological sphere increasingly shapes the geosphere of the Planet.
Bishop unpacks the concepts of poly-scalar remote sensing and the concealed dimensions of tele-technology, reflecting on how media technologies intersect with governance and military power.
How do remote sensing systems operating at multiple scales transform our relationship with the environment? In what ways might hidden tele-technologies constrainâor empowerâindividual and collective agency?

In Episode 3 of Mapping the Planetary, we speak with senior advisors Andreas Lind and Cecilie Friis from the Danish think tank CONCITO about their project From Planetary Boundaries to Planetary Policies.
They explore how addressing the climate crisis requires confronting the broader web of interconnected environmental challengesâand how Earth-system science can inform more effective and equitable policy responses. Lind and Friis discuss the urgent need to move from abstract recognition of planetary boundaries to concrete political action.
What would it take to craft solutions that are globally viable? How can local communities meaningfully contribute to shaping policies at a planetary scale? The conversation highlights the potential of integrating planetary thinking into governance frameworksâbridging science, policy, and grassroots engagement in the face of accelerating ecological change.

In Episode 2 of Mapping the Planetary, we sit down with our host, James Bernard Quilligan.
With over three decades of experience in international development and monetary policyâas both analyst and administratorâQuilligan now serves as Senior Research Fellow at the Center for New Critical Politics and Governance.
In the conversation, we explore key concepts shaping our planetary futureâthe idea of the planetary commons and the ecological limits of carrying capacity. Quilligan reflects on the importance of distinguishing globalization from planetization, and considers how principles from thermodynamics might shed light on the climate crisis.
What forms of planetary governance and stewardship could help us navigate these complex challenges? Most importantly, we ask whether embracing a degrowth mindset is essential to building a sustainable future.
Quilligan argues for the need to adopt a new worldviewâa new epistemology and narrativeâthat can guide us through the planetary transition ahead.

In our first episode of Mapping the Planetary, together with our hosts Hagen Schulz-Forberg and James Quilligan, we sit down with Nils Gilman, Vice President of Programs at the Berggruen Institute, and discuss his ideas on a planetary approach to governance.
Gilman distinguishes the concept of the planetary from the global, framing it as a necessary shift in light of the bio-geo-chemical disruption of today.
He reflects on the need for new forms of shared sovereignty and suggests that a move beyond anthropocentric frameworks may open a fundamental rethinking of core categories in both political theory and policy practice.
