Glenn is a transdisciplinary philosopher with a focus on the intersection of ecosystems and human health. He is the author of many book chapters and academic papers on environmental and animal ethics, social ecology and the existential impacts of environmental transformation. Glenn has become internationally well known for creating the concept of 'solastalgia.' Solastalgia is defined as the distress and loss of solace connected to a person’s lived experience of the chronic desolation of a loved home environment by transformational agents such as mining and climate change.
