The Anthropocene lecture series

The Anthropocene is a widely used term that designates the most recent epoch in Earth's history: an epoch in which humans have radically altered (and disrupted) the climate and ecosystems of the planet. 

The annual Welcome to the Anthropocene lecture series invites scholars and researchers across the humanities, social and natural sciences to explore how their disciplines are responding—both to the concept of the Anthropocene, and to the planetary crisis that it designates. 

For the 2023 Anthropocene Lecture Series we've invited leading international scholars. Read more about the other lectures in the series here. 

2023 Convenors and organizers: Pierre du Plessis and Anna-Katharina Laboissiere
