Dear Friends, I recently was a keynote speaker, along with Sarah Conn and Allen Kanner, at the Psychology-Ecology-Sustainability Conference held June 9-11 at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I was the only non-psychologist among the keynoters, but my talk "Creative Maladjustment: Activism as a Way to Heal Self, Society, and Planet" was well-received and got a standing ovation by the 175 conference participants. I was particularly touched when Allen Kanner, the founder of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, wrote me after the conference and said, "I loved what you had to say in your talk, and how you said it."
On the chance that this talk might be of interest to others, I have included some pieces from it on Antioch University's Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program blog (http://eaop-blog.blogspot.com) and I'm also happy to send a pdf version of the entire talk if you email me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). BTW, please free feel to pass it on to any friends, colleagues, or contacts you think might be interested. (For those who don't recognize it, the title of the talk is taken from a presentation made by Martin Luther King to the annual convention of the American Psychological Association in 1967.) All my best, Steve * * * * * * * * * * Steve Chase, Ph.D. Director, Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program Department of Environmental Studies at Antioch University New England 40 Avon Street, Keene, NH 03431 603-283-2336; 603-357-0618 (fax); [EMAIL PROTECTED] * EAOP's Main Website: http://www.antiochne.edu/es/eao/default.cfm * EAOP's "The Well-Trained Activist" Blog: http://eaop-blog.blogspot.com * EAOP's Online Bookstore: http://www.antiochne.edu/es/eao/bookstore.cfm (7.5% of your purchase price will be donated to the EAOP Scholarship Fund at not extra cost to you.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
