What is liberation psychology, and what insights does it hold for navigating the climate crisis? Rooted in the social and environmental climate of the present moment, this dialogue brings the theory of liberation to the forefront of climate psychology work. Join us on February 4, 2025 for a dialogue featuring long-time liberation psychology scholar and practitioner Annie Jordan, and climate career counsellor Trevor Lehmann, with opportunities for audience participation and Q&A.
