Interviewing the Inventor of “Environmental Grief”

In these days, I think it’s important not to look away from death, grief, and transformation. So I was delighted to get to engage in a wide-ranging podcast interview with Kriss Kevorkian, a thanatologist who holds the distinction of having invented the term “Environmental Grief.” I wrote in my blurb for the episode that “Kriss talks about thanatology, her own work on behalf of the Southern Resident Orcas in the Salish Sea, and how we can harness environmental grief to act on behalf of the non-human world.” A rich vein of thought, and one we don’t discuss enough.
