University of Denver Experts Available to talk about Spring, Tax Season, Climate Change and More.
For the month of April, faculty experts at the University of Denver are eager to talk about the psychology of spring cleaning, taxes, climate change and more, offering insightful perspectives to enhance public understanding and discussion.
The Psychology of Spring Cleaning
As we transition to spring, there’s a collective urge to embark on a whirlwind of decluttering. From purging our closets to organizing our spaces, is there a reason we feel compelled to clean around springtime? According to psychologists, reducing stress and feeling accomplished and happier are some of those reasons. Dr. Carrie Landin, a professor in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology, is available to discuss the psychology of spring cleaning.
