This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Within this research we respond to the problem of how climate catastrophe, rooted in extractive and humancentric logics, numbs our capacity to feel with our environments. Climate grief is present yet often disavowed; our habitual ways of sensing, naming, and narrating the more-than-human world keep us at a distance instead of in relation. We ask how these inherited perceptual structures block climate justice and equal, nurturing relations with human and more-than-human environments. It takes courage to persist. Through staying with climate grief, we yearn for climate joy.
