WSU faculty, staff, and students are invited to join with peers from the University of Oregon and the University of Colorado-Boulder for a experiential workshop led by the Climate Wisdom Lab on Tuesday, March 7, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. via Zoom. The virtual, interactive workshop will focus on acknowledging and addressing the emotional anxiety that arises from researching, teaching, and studying the topic of climate change. Led by Kevin Gallagher (Director of Emergent Resilience) and Sarah Jacquette Ray (author of “A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety”), the workshop aims to provide tools for developing and maintaining individual and social resilience, and for participants to discuss these topics with peers at other Pac‑12 institutions. Register to attend as a WSU participant at https://commonreading.wsu.edu/an-experiential-workshop-climate-wisdom-lab/.
WSU participation in the workshop is sponsored by the Common Reading Program, the ASWSU Environmental Sustainability Alliance, and the School of the Environment. The collaboration among WSU, UO, and UC‑Boulder is the result of conversations among the three universities’ Common Reading programs, each of which is using Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book “Braiding Sweetgrass” this academic year. Registration for each institution is limited to 24 participants; once the registration limit is met, those interested can be added to a wait list should spots open up for participation.
