How does the changing climate reshape our understanding of the relationship between past and future? What conflicts emerge from these changes? What kinds of collective projects respond to them? What is the role of the humanities and interpretive social sciences in all of this?
On-going Histories of colonization, enslavement, economic exploitation, and geographically uneven development shape and inform current struggles over fossil fuel infrastructure, global climate finance, and climate adaptation.
The Center for Humanities Research, the Institute for a Sustainable Earth, and the School of Integrative Studies are bringing together the following scholars to discuss these challenges:
- Olúfẹmi O. Táíwò (Philosophy, Georgetown University
- Jamie Haverkamp (Anthropology, James Madison University
- Kai Bosworth (School of World Studies, Virginia Commonwealth University)
