“Climate Therapy in Italy with Camilla Gamba and Lucia Tecuta”
Podcast | Climate Change and Happiness | 6 giugno 2025
Together with Camilla Gamba, I joined Thomas Doherty and Panu Pihkala as guests on their podcast where they bring therapists and researchers into dialogue around climate psychology and eco-therapy. We shared our cosmopolitan journeys, our bicultural backgrounds between Italy and the United States, and the challenges and opportunities of translating concepts such as environmental identity and stewardship into the rich Italian cultural and historical context. The discussion moved between activism and il dolce far niente, offering an inspiring reflection on how care for the planet and care for the self can coexist.
Intervista per"Il Giusto Clima"con Marianna Usuelli di Radio Popolare
Radio | 26 marzo 2025
L’intervista radiofonica ha preso spunto dal Manuale di Psicologia Climatica della Climate Psychology Alliance, che ho tradotto insieme a Camilla Gamba e Paola Sabatini. Nel corso della conversazione abbiamo esplorato il legame tra salute mentale e cambiamento climatico, affrontando temi come la negazione della crisi climatica, il distanziamento psicologico e le diverse modalità con cui le persone elaborano informazioni e emozioni legate all’emergenza ambientale.

“Psychology of Food Choices”
Podcast | Food and Policies ONFOODS Podcast | 1 ottobre 2024
In the fourth episode of Food and Policies, Maria Elide Vanutelli (University of Milano-Bicocca) interviewed Lucia Tecuta (University of Bologna), a researcher involved in the EATeam Laboratory project (Project "Psychology of food choices: challenges for healthy dietary behavior in general and clinical populations" - PSYFOOD) of OnFoods.
In this episode, Lucia shared insights into the specific project she is working on, which investigates the role of eco-anxiety and concerns about climate change in adopting healthy and sustainable food behaviors, as well as their potential role as risk factors for eating disorders.Studies on eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors are an emerging area in psychology with important implications for promoting sustainability.
