IAS faculty member Jennifer Atkinson<\/a> spoke to audiences in the U.S., Germany, and Canada as part of a 2020 speaking series on climate change and mental health<\/a>. Her talks were featured at the Festival of Live Digital Art<\/a> in Toronto, the \u00ef\u00bb\u00bfAspen Institute's Future Leaders Climate Summit<\/a>, the Rachel Carson Center<\/a> in Munich, the City of Bellevue's virtual Earth Day event<\/a>, and Edmonds Community College's 2020 Triton Talk series<\/a>. Atkinson's presentations highlighted the psychological toll of climate change and explored why scholarly engagement with the affective consequences of ecological loss will be key to addressing this existential threat.<\/p>\n\n

Atkinson's speaking series is part of a larger project on climate anxiety she launched in 2020, including an international conference and workshop for climate justice educators<\/a> sponsored by the Rachel Carson Center, and a podcast on climate grief<\/a> hosted by Atkinson, which explores ways to harness climate despair to activate meaningful solutions to our crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
