Much of Dr. Hope Ferdowsian’s writing—like her daily work—focuses on the links between the vulnerability and resilience of people and animals.
Phoenix Zones (The University of Chicago Press, 2018), draws on these themes and shows how people and animals across the globe can help each other recover from trauma and heal—a phenomenon known as the “Phoenix Effect.”
Its publication led to the establishment of Phoenix Zones Initiative, which puts medical and public health expertise to work for people, animals, and the planet—so everyone can rise and thrive.
