It’s Hard Knowing: The Inner Work of Climate Action
We will be joined by special guest Dr. Sarah Jaquette Ray. Dr. Ray will explain how we can recognize the complex feelings that come with understanding the full scale of the climate crisis and its impacts on all that we love. Motivated by the despair she began observing in her students about a decade ago, Ray’s work focuses on the role of emotions in climate justice advocacy, and the relationship between inner resilience and collective action for climate justice.
Suggested donation $10 per session to support ECA’s programming and events.
