Shaun Chamberlin's writing explores the dominant cultural stories and 'myths' that chart the course for our society. And, in particular, how we might change direction before we end up where we are headed. His work has been discussed across the UK press, including the BBC, Independent, Sunday Times, Guardian and Daily Express, as well as internationally by Time magazine, Bloomberg News and the Financial Times. He is the founder of Dark Optimism and chair of the Ecological Land Co-operative, has been involved with the Transition Network since its inception, and was a co-founder of Transition Town Kingston. He was also one of the first Extinction Rebellion arrestees, in 2018, and shortlisted for the Sheila McKechnie Foundation Environmental Campaigner Award. His first book, The Transition Timeline, was published in 2009, and contributed to his being voted Kingston's 'Green Champion' by his local council and newspaper. He then co-authored the All Party Parliamentary report into carbon rationing and contributed to several books before shepherding the late David Fleming's extraordinary, award-winning Lean Logic and Surviving the Future to posthumous publication. In light of their ever-growing popularity, he taught the 'Community, Place and Play: A Post-Market Economics' course at Schumacher College, was executive producer of 2020 film 'The Sequel: What Will Follow Our Troubled Civilisation?', and now partners with Vermont’s Sterling College, both as consulting scholar on their EcoGather project and leading the groundbreaking online programme ‘Surviving the Future: Conversations for Our Time’. He is also one of the six custodians of legendary free pub The Happy Pig, where you'll often find him!
