Join us as Dr Laura Pereira from CST will talk about her newly launched edited book. Claimed to be a new ‘human-dominated, geological epoch’ (Paul Crutzen, 2002), the Anthropocene brings with it a critical imperative, namely that we rethink our role as humans in shaping our joint future, and learn to engage with this challenge through each other’s eyes. The evidence that humans are now a major geological power, introduces a significant paradigm shift in how we theorise about our place in this new world, but more importantly, also has implications for deciding how to act and plan interventions.
The CST is excited to host the Anthropocene Dialogues – an interdisciplinary dialogue series that brings different perspectives together through regular discussion, debate and dialogue to foster the potential for novel ways of thinking and engaging with the challenges of the Anthropocene.
Time: 16:00 to 18:00
Please RSVP by 15 January 2018 to cstenquiries@sun.ac.za
