The dynamics of the Anthropocene present fundamental challenges to traditional disciplinary silos and their capacity to understand systems and respond to crises. To tell the story of the Anthropocene better and to allow acting on the possibilities for transformative change and just futures, the Anthropocene Lab at UMass Amherstwill bring together an interdisciplinary group of humanists, scientists, social scientists, and artists to pilot a survey of critical literature on the Anthropocene.
These cross-campus, “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.
