30 October 2024, 2:00 pm–4:00 pm
How might the disruptions and interactions of the Anthropocene alter our attempts to write history and analyse these changed worlds? The first Anthropocene Histories seminar of 2024/25 will explore how historians are responding to these challenges, and the possibilities and limitations of traditional and non-traditional forms of writing. The panel will comprise Bathsheba Demuth (Brown), Julie Livingston (NYU) and Will Pooley (Bristol), in conversation with John Sabapathy.
Bathsheba, Julie and Will will be talking about their current work, but you may be interested in this recent Granta essay by Bathsheba, this History Workshop Journal article by Will and colleagues, and the introduction to Julie’s Self-devouring Growth.
