    • Zoom
    In celebration of Earth Day we’ll hear from Holli-Anne Passmore, one of the world experts on nature-connectedness and wellbeing. H!A! (as she likes to refer to herself) is a psychology professor at Concordia University of Edmonton, Canada and was a mainstage speaker at last year’s IPPA World Congress on Positive Psychology. Check out a recent paper: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/20/12/6170


    From H!A! -- As a researcher, I collaborate with colleagues around the globe primarily focusing on the development and validation of practical interventions to enhance well-being through noticing and engaging with everyday nature close to home. I also delve into issues regarding ecoanxiety. Within the meaning stream of my research, I examine pathways that lead to greater meaning in life, particularly among university students. Of course, these two research streams overlap at times. I am privileged to be Science Chair of the Spirituality & Meaning Division of the International Positive Psychology Association, an invited academic with the Global Wellbeing Initiative, and an Editor of the International Journal of Wellbeing. I also direct the multi-university research lab I started as a grad student, the Nature—Meaning in Life (NMIL) research lab, which is going strong still with several inspiring undergraduate and graduate students from various universities in several different countries. I am as passionate about my teaching as I am about my research. I teach Introductory Psychology, Emotions & Behaviour, Positive Psychology, Nature & Wellbeing (and in the past, and hopefully near future again, Psychology of Meaning in Life).
