Interview with Dr Caroline Hickman
The first project’s interview with expert is here. I was given an opportunity to talk with Dr Caroline Hickman, lecturer at the University of Bath in social work and climate psychology, and conduct an interview, the theme of which was the current state of mental attitudes of British society towards climate changes and possible ways of making a positive impact. This conversation provided a lot of valuable information and insights into the characteristics of British eco-psychological environment, and is a big step forward for my research.
Interview with Anouchka Grose
Recently, a well-known psychoanalyst, therapist and writer, Anouchka Grose, agreed to participate in an interview for the project. I was able to gain valuable insights into such aspects of the eco-psychology as providing support for eco-activists, ecotherapy, ways of promoting campaigns of this kind or the role that psychology and behavioural sciences play in the context of climate change. I would like to express my gratitude for the ability to conduct this interview, as it will greatly contribute to the progress of my project.
Interview with Ben Hart
Head of Operations at Nattergal, Natural Capital Specialist, ESOS Lead Assessor and Chartered Energy Manager – a person behind these titles is my next interviewee, Ben Hart. Thanks to the great opportunity of being able to talk with him directly, I was able to discover various details regarding numerous attitudes of British society towards climate change – from passionate activists driven by the possibility of good changes to passive observers, not fully convinced about the importance of discussed issue yet. I’m very grateful for this fruitful conversation and for the valuable thoughts and opinions it provided for me and for the project.
Interview with Giovanni Telesca
My next interviewee was Giovanni Telesca, a PhD student in Learning and Innovation in Social Contexts and Organizations at the University of Siena. Conversation with Giovanni not only let me further study the matter of eco-psychology, but also provided an extended geo-social perspective, as he shared with me opinions, attitudes, and outlooks most commonly found in the society. Moreover, we have delved into the details of the reasons and solutions to the present situation. I’m grateful for the ability to conduct this interview, as it’s bringing my research one step closer to a successful conclusion.
