How does what we observe shape our understanding and capacity to care for the world around us? Does having hope mean a blind optimism that leaves no room for sadness or grief? \nOur next A Rocha Talks will take up such questions with Dr. Elin Kelsey\, author of Hope Matters. \nElin Kelsey\, PhD is a scholar\, author and passionate leader in the evidence-based hope and climate change and environmental solutions movement. Her newest book for adults\, Hope Matters: Why Changing the Way We Think Is Critical For Solving The Environmental Crisis was published by Greystone Books in 2020. Her influence can be seen in the hopeful\, solutions-focus of her clients\, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium\, and other powerful institutions where she has served as a visiting fellow including the Rachel Carson Center for the Environment and Society\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, and Stanford University in the Graduate School of Education. In 2022\, she will be taking up a Kone Foundation Fellowship to work with climate science researchers\, the Climate and Environmental Communication Science Association and children’s book writers in Finland on the Developing Climate Change Communication with Emotional Awareness project.
