The Anthropocene Lab will be hosting its next “Thinking the Earth” seminar on the topic of “Politicizing the Anthropocene.” Three short papers, from the social sciences and the humanities, will be followed by an open discussion on how to address the political challenges of the present from the vantage point of Anthropocene discourses.
