My "Creative Maladjustment" Talk
Steve Chase
I recently was a keynote speaker, along with Sarah Conn and Allen
Kanner, at the Psychology-Ecology-Sustainability Conference held June
9-11 at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I was the only
non-psychologist among the keynoters, but my talk "Creative
Maladjustment: Activism as a Way to Heal Self, Society, and Planet"
was well-received and got a standing ovation by the 175 conference
participants. I was particularly touched when Allen Kanner, the
founder of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, wrote me
after the conference and said, "I loved what you had to say in your
talk, and how you said it."
On the chance that this talk might be of interest to others, I have
included some pieces from it on Antioch University's Environmental
Advocacy and Organizing Program blog (http://eaop-blog.blogspot.com)
and I'm also happy to send a pdf version of the entire talk if you
email me (steven...@antiochne.edu). BTW, please free feel to pass
it on to any friends, colleagues, or contacts you think might be
interested. (For those who don't recognize it, the title of the talk
is taken from a presentation made by Martin Luther King to the annual
convention of the American Psychological Association in 1967.)
All my best,
Steve
