Jen Soriano in conversation with Jason Magabo Perez: Cultural Resilience to Climate Trauma 

Featuring a reading from Soriano's book NERVOUS: Essays on Heritage and Healing, and a discussion of the ways that literature, indigenous stewardship, and cultural practices of collectivism can buffer against trauma from climate disruption and contribute to climate resilience.

Jen Soriano (she/they) is a Filipinx-American lyric essayist, award-winning writer, independent scholar, and multi-disciplinary performer. Her most recent published work, Nervous: Essays on Heritage and Healing, is a memoir in 14 essays that explores how our nervous systems carry ancestral lessons from the past and also carry the key to transforming society toward a trauma-wise future.
