The latest webinar in the Radical Hope in Feverish Times series is available to be viewed. It is on the topic “Finding Psyche in Feverish Times.” Here’s a brief description, and the video link.
Are we anxious enough yet? In the firehose of current crises and challenges—from Trump and the Epstein Files to Iran, Venezuela, Gaza, and Ukraine, to climate change, conspiracy cults, the weirdness of AI, and all the rest—is there any place where we might find ourselves, or the agency to resist, or something solid and comforting behind or beneath the onslaught? Or is there too much of ourselves already, and not enough opening to the otherness that we fear or resist? Where in the maelstrom is ‘nature,’ or God, or our common humanity?
Speakers include ecopsychologist Andy Fisher, author of Radical Ecopsychology: Psychology in the Service of Life (2013); Lacanian psychoanalyst Hilda Fernandez-Alvarez, co-founder of the Lacan Salon and president of Corpo Freudiano Vancouver; and psychological anthropologist Josh Brahinsky, author of Tongues of Fire: How Charismatic Prayer Changes Evangelical Brains and Inspires Spirit-Filled Activism (2026). They are joined in conversation with poet and cultural theorist Clint Burnham, and host and moderator Adrian Ivakhiv.
