The opening questions to Robert Greenway are:
1) What do you mean by “ecopsychology”? We both know it’s a big and encompassing term, with many people using it to include all sorts of different approaches, so it is important at our outset to get some sense of the way we will be using it, and lay out some sense of the boundaries of the territory we intend to include in the term. It would be nice to keep this initial foray into definition fairly concise. One line of definition to consider is: what is the purpose, relevance, or cultural applicability of ecopsychology? In other words, why bother? 2) I’d like to ask you about books and authors. I seem to remember from maybe a couple decades ago a master list you were maintaining of books and articles related to ecospsychology. It was an impressively large list even then, so I wonder of its status today. But I’d like to ask you, if possible, to pick 1) five recent (last 10 years) books or articles that you consider most significant to the ecopsychology you have developed, and 2) five books older than 10 years that are most fundamental to building the background to your ecopsychology. If you can provide brief annotations to each choice, giving a hint as to why you value them, that will help us.
