Community psychology and BioCultural societies: points of intersection

Today I took part in the Google Hangout "Community psychology and BioCultural societies: points of intersection", organized by G+ communities BioCultual Landscapes and Seascapes and Environmental psychology

My interlocutors were Dr. Bernadette Montanari - ethnobiologist, Center of biocultural diversity at Kent university; Prof. Douglas Perkins - professor in Community psychology at Vanderbilt university, US; Nikolay Mihaylov - MA in Clinical psychology and PhD candidate in Community research and action at Vanderbilt university, US.

 The discussion explored the basics of Community psychology, and how Community psychology can support bio-cultural diversity and can help building of resilient communities in their natural settings?

Important issues were discussed, like community environment - community behavior, community behavior, place attachment, place identity, community research, community empowerment and action, community identity, traditional ecological knowledge and many more.
