Depressed About Climate Change? Moving from Angst to Action in an Age of Ecological Disruption

Presented by Jennifer Atkinson, Senior Lecturer, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, University of Washington Bothell

Grief, anxiety and hopelessness are increasingly common responses to our environmental crisis, but research shows that such feelings rarely motivate people to action. Join us for an exploration into the emotional toll of climate change — and how we might build the resilience to stay engaged in solutions over the long run.

About Pub Night Talks

The University of Washington Bothell and McMenamins co-sponsor this speaker series in which university faculty and other notables from the community share their expertise through entertaining and informal talks. Learn about interesting topics and issues of the day while enjoying the hospitality of Anderson School’s Haynes’ Hall. It's like being back in the classroom -- except this time you get to settle into comfortable seats and enjoy a drink or two with dinner while you listen and learn.
