Wrigley Storymakers Program

Excited to be part of the Wrigley Storymakers fellowship for 2024.

“Through the Wrigley Institute Storymakers program, scientists become storytellers, and academic research becomes a vision that changes the world. The Storymakers program is a weeklong intensive that trains full-time, mid-career researchers in the art of environmental storytelling. Held in residence at the Wrigley Marine Science Center (WMSC) on Catalina Island, the program includes lectures, workshops, studio time for creating original content, and networking opportunities. Instructors are chosen from the best in media, the arts, and publishing.”

Sustainability Psychology - Keynote for SPSPSP

Shahzeen will be giving a keynote at the SPSP Sustainability Psychology Preconference on Feb 7, 2024.

Welcome to the 13th annual Sustainability Psychology Preconference! This year’s theme is “Individual and Structural Approaches to Addressing Climate Change.” As sustainability psychology researchers, we often focus on individual actions but overlook the impact of larger structural changes necessary to create and maintain a sustainable planet. This year’s preconference showcases cutting-edge research that extends the predominant scope of sustainability psychology. We shine a spotlight on work that includes both top-down, research that focuses on structural change, policy and key decision makers, and bottom-up, research that emphasizes the need for changes in our day-to-day lives. Our preconference is open to participants at all career stages and professional backgrounds and will include two keynote addresses, an invited speaker session, single-presenter talks, blitzes, and a happy hour event.
