Appreciative Inquiry for Life: Working With Nature in a Time of Ecological Crisis

Abstract

What if we choose, even more radically, to place all of life – including the more-than-human world – at the centre of everything we do? What might it look like if we made more space for non-human voices? How can work more explicitly with and in nature? In the introduction to this issue, Joeri Kabalt draws inspiration from Rachel Carson as both an environmental activist and advocate for wonder, beauty and mystery, and introduces the main themes and questions of this special issue.
