His contribution explored how the 1986 nuclear accident triggered collective emotional responses – fear, anger, uncertainty – that reshaped public trust in science and institutions, influencing political decisions and challenging dominant ideas of progress.

Understanding these patterns is crucial for rebuilding democratic trust and fostering collective action in the face of ecological breakdown.
