About the research 

As awareness of ecological decline grows and feeds collective grief and anxiety about the future, we continue to study, live, and work in contexts that are irreconcilable with adaptation imperatives. 

How do researchers and working professionals understand the gap between their own subjective hopes and fears about ecological decline and the institutional constraints in which they work and live?

By facing our defenses -- our painful truths, collective denial -- and then processing grief and loss, we might be able to develop sustained, emotionally-informed action to reduce harm going forward.
