Solastalgia

  • Sarah Aronson, host of Grounding season two, was raised by the Mendenhall Glacier in Southeast Alaska. Her connection to that glacier embodies much of the tension season two explores between climate change and mental health. Aronson created the episode images for Grounding by rubber carving. They were adapted digitally by Lauren Korn.

    (So) that you know we loved this world
    Sarah Aronson, Keely Larson
    In the last episode of Grounding season two, Host Sarah Aronson and MTPR Host and Producer Lauren Korn talk about the homesickness they feel for places they love that have changed. And, they put a word to that feeling—solastalgia. Lauren interviews writer and editor Paul Bogard, who created an anthology sourced from people coming to terms with the word and the feeling of solastalgia.
