This week, Aneta and Isaac speak with Dr. Anastasios Gaitanidis, a relational psychoanalyst based in London, whose work focuses on the intersection of psychological and political dimensions of cultural and environmental crisis. Relating to the work of Sue Grand and Josh Cohen, Gaitanidis shows where our hatred for the abuse of our climate, and our complicity in that abuse, stems from a love for our world, each other, and our potential environmental future. Far from being a dead-end, Gaitanidis outlines where and how hatred might galvanize us to take agency in our climate crisis, together.

ROOM 2.26 is here! What happens when "home" disappears?

Featuring writing by Jennifer Dhillon, Liam A. Faulkner, Megan K.D. Gordon, Lucas McGranahan, Kanika Mehrotra, Atsumi Minamisawa, David Morgan, Michiko Oki, Kathryn Pollak, Xiaomeng Qiao, Bia Roy, and Naw Cheni Thein. Poetry by John Pring, Ann Shenfield, and Ariana Suits. Art by Meenal Raghava and Margaret Vega.

This week, Aneta and Isaac speak with Irwin Kula, a seventh-generation rabbi and President Emeritus of Clal–The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership. Kula unpacks his motivation to write on gun violence and the unnerving reality of how little has changed since Columbine. Tracing unconscious patterns, repetition compulsion, and the Lacanian "Real," Kula navigates where the inexplicable and the familiar intersect at sites of traumatic and recurring violence.
