No Direction Home: dwelling and ecological grief
–
Funded by .
With the unfolding climate crisis, ecological grief – the sense of loss that arises from experiencing environmental destruction – has become a growing phenomenon. This project will build on recent advances in phenomenology, the study of the structures of experience, to develop an integrative account of ecological grief.
A particularity of ecological grief is that it tends to be collective: there is usually a group of people who used to dwell together in an environment that is now lost or under threat. This project will advance a conception of ecological grief as a collective crisis in dwelling. This conception will connect with recent advances in cognitive science to develop into a full-blown theory that serves as the basis of future interdisciplinary research into the psychological effects of environmental destruction. The integrative theory of ecological grief will also have important real-world impact in areas such as clinical treatment and environmental policymaking.
