Autorenporträt

Wade Pickren earned his doctorate in psychology at the University of Florida, with concurrent training in the history of science. He is the author/editor of eleven books and numerous peer-reviewed publications. Over the last 20 years, his scholarship has been a progressively deeper dive into the study of knowledge development in historical/cultural context, with special emphases on race, ethnicity, indigeneity, and health. His current focus within this framework is an exploration of ecopsychology, spirituality, and the possibility of social-ecological resilience and deep adaptation in our time of ecological crisis.
