Aili Channer grew up in the UK, France, and Kenya. She joined the For a New World team to help with digitising the photography archive, and is currently undertaking a Master’s in Cultural and Intellectual History at the University of London. As a researcher and writer, she is interested in thinking historically and philosophically about the cultural patterns that have led to our contemporary ecological crises and how to create societal change and renewal. In 2023, this interest took her to Bhutan to learn how this country puts its economy at the service of human wellbeing and the natural world. More recently, she worked for Earthrise, Al Jazeera’s environmental solutions series, researching movements and philosophies that are working towards a sustainable future.
