Dr. Bree Rosenblum talks about how we need to reframe the story we tell ourselves about the human species in order to address modern challenges.
Dr. Bree Rosenblum is a Professor of Global Change Biology and the Koshland Distinguished Chair for Innovative Teaching and Research at UC Berkeley. She received her B.A. from Brown University and Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. Her research and teaching focus on understanding the biological diversity of our planet and renewing a deep sense of belonging with ourselves and the natural world. Bree has published 90 scholarly articles and the first ever Global Change Biology textbook. Her work has received numerous awards and been featured broadly in the New York Times, the Discovery Channel, National Public Radio, the BBC movie Endangered, and many textbooks and magazines (including Ranger Rick). Bree studies how new species form and what we can do about current rates of extinction. Her research on the tree of life takes place in deserts, mountains, and rainforests around the world. And in her own heart. Truly. All real planetary solutions require new ways of being human. Bree is also devoted to transforming higher educational and has held leadership roles focused on promoting institutional and cultural change in academia and beyond. She recently served as the inaugural faculty director of the Berkeley Discovery Initiative and founded the Authentic Academic platform. Bree weaves together many modalities in her work and draws on an eclectic history as a professor, middle school science teacher, meditation instructor, safari truck driver, climber, roving naturalist, and art nerd. She loves supporting others in the journey of life.
