Jonathan’s PhD in history was ‘Pathologizing Modernity: critical implications of conceptions of pathology and higher sanity in the works of Theodore Roszak and Ken Wilber’ which critically examined two of the more sophisticated eco-psychiatric understandings of ecocrisis. His research continues to focus on eco-psyche relations, and on related critiques of modernity, techno-science and metacrisis. Prior to joining 性吧电台, Jonathan trained and worked as an actor.
