We have to be unwavering in our commitment to principles of justice and freedom and be harbingers of hope. So for me, this is a lifelong thing, and I think of it as ancestor work that I one day will be somebody's ancestor, and I want them to be proud of the work that we did to give them a world that’s a little better of an inheritance than the world that I was born into. And I think that is how we mark progress in more nuanced ways, in more honest ways. It doesn't need to be a straight line towards freedom, more of a journey with wins and losses, setbacks and victories.

Global Sustainability Advisor · Co-Author of The Sustainability Puzzle: How Systems Thinking, Climate Action, Circularity and Social Transformation Can Improve Health, Wealth and Wellbeing for All

What is societal progress? I think the last 70 years, clearly, in the post World War II period, we have been thinking of economic growth and have been equating that with societal progress. To an extent of course that's right. To an extent, we need this economic growth to lift people out of poverty. We’ve kind of lost the reasoning. We have been following only this economic growth paradigm measured by the GDP, the Gross domestic product and we have forgotten that it measures many things, but it doesn't actually measure progress. It doesn't measure how healthy people are, how educated they are, how clean the environment is, how safe it is, how secure it is. It’s something where we really need to do a lot to transform those mindsets and in the end to understand that sustainability is about making their lives better and not worse.

Author of Living Queer History · Assoc. Professor of History, Roanoke College
Co-founder of the Southwest Virginia LGBTQ+ History Project

One of the things I really tried to get across in Living Queer History, and particularly in my chapter called “The Whiteness of Queerness” is to first make clear that LGBTQ histories have long been informed by white supremacy. It's kind of the unspoken thing that people don't want to talk about. It’s true all over the country. And so what I’ve started to think about is that often LGBTQ spaces are just unthinkingly white because there's a racial blindness, a racial myopia where folks are not thinking about the fact of how racial dominance is playing into that space. Or how racial dominance is playing into the way we tell stories about LGBTQ belonging.

All over the world, we’re seeing because of climate change we’re seeing vast changes affecting all aspects of society. That’s something that we’ve not been able to face politically. We need to do that. – Orrin H. Pilkey
