Transcending Double Binds
A discussion of the psychological and social constructs that lead to feelings of stuckness and paralysis in the face of complex global challenges. We explore how understanding the physiological impacts of issues such as climate change can inform more effective communication, engagement, and policy-making. With Steffi Bednarek and Bec Davison; hosted by Kira Jade Copper,
