Communicating Hope in an Age of Despair. Elin Kelsey

Description

This episode of the Green Interview features Elin Kelsey, a science communicator who communicates hope and wonder. She’s an intellectual pinwheel, firing off ideas and reports on everything from the composition of human breath to the life forms in the greatest depths of the sea. She’s particularly fascinated by the life of the oceans. She lives in California and teaches at universities in British Columbia and Australia. She’s a consultant who serves clients all over the world, a huge fan of the intellectual adventure that goes by the name of science, a brilliant teacher and an internationally renowned author, particularly of children’s books. She’s deeply critical of the dominant narrative of environmentalism, that the world is being destroyed by human greed and that the only possible reaction is doom and gloom. Elin Kelsey is interested in ideas that work, people who make a difference and stories that lift our hearts.
