"How Protest & Collective Action Can Drive Climate Action" with Dr. Johanna Vollhardt

In this Climate Chat episode we discuss the types of protest and collective action that might be effective in engaging individuals and society to take climate action seriously. Our guest is Dr. Johanna Vollhardt, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University. Dr. Vollhardt’s research focuses on the psychological impact of collective victimization, focusing on questions such as: how do people make sense of oppression and violence against their group? How do different beliefs about collective victimization relate to intergroup attitudes and social and political views? What explains different resistance strategies in violent and repressive contexts? How is group-based power understood in the context of oppression?
