Anthropocene Lab

The Anthropocene Lab is an interdisciplinary group of humanists, scientists, social scientists, and artists who seek new interdisciplinary narratives about the Anthropocene in an effort to engage the deep past and shared futures, humans and non-human communities. What are, and how are, dominant narratives about the Anthropocene created? Which interdisciplinary practices and research agendas create better narratives?

Thinking the Earth Seminars

“Thinking the Earth” seminars offer interested faculty and graduate students a platform to engage one of the most contested and noteworthy developments in intellectual history. The way we imagine, speak or write about, or represent the Anthropocene are of critical importance at a time of climate change. These seminars are part of the Anthropocene Lab & its cross campus collaborations.
