In this intimate and timely talk, Dr. Kristen Donnelly unpacks the myth of "getting back to normal" by explaining some of the cultural aftermath of the Northern Irish Troubles. This is applicable to any situations of both communal and individual trauma - there is no going back to something after the world has changed. Kristen Donnelly (MSW, M.Div, PhD) is a keynote speaker, international empathy educator, and researcher with two decades of experience in helping people understand the beauty in difference, and the power in inclusivity. She is one of The Good Doctors of Abbey Research, COO of their parent company, and an unapologetic nerd for stories of change. Kristen lives outside of Philadelphia with her husband, where they are surrounded by piles of books and several video game consoles. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
