Beyond Western Rationality

This workshop is a conversation about the theme of issue 6 of Explorations: Beyond Western Rationality. You don't have to read the issue in advance (although if you want, see www.climatepsychologyalliance.org on page reserach and reflections you will find the link to CPA's journal Explorations).

Issue 6 contains enough content to fill more than one workshop. That means the point is to have the conversation about the theme and while doing so we can bring to the front what authors have said or refer to them.

This workshop is facilitated by Rachel Cakebread and Rembrandt Zegers, both member of CPA and part of the editing team of Explorations.
