Join us for a talk by Juliano Palacios Abrantes, University of British Columbia, Canada
Dr Philile Mbatha, University of Cape Town, South Africa.
About the event:
Claimed to be the 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 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.
