Chellis Glendinning (born 1947) is an author and activist. She has been called a pioneer in the concept of ecopsychology—the belief that promoting environmentalism is healthy. She is a social-change activist with an emphasis on feminism, bioregionalism, and indigenous rights. She promotes human cultures which are land-based and confined to bioregions, and is a critic of the use of technology.
Career
In 2007 Glendinning's bilingual folk opera De Un Lado Al Otro, was presented at the Lensic Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Glendinning graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in social sciences in 1969. She received her doctorate in psychology from Columbia Pacific University.
Her papers are housed in the Labadie Collection of the University of Michigan.
