Lecture Series

In 2015-16 we organised two lecture series:
Unexpected Encounters with Deep Time examined the challenges of thinking with deep time in the Anthropocene, via three linked strands: Enchantment; Violence; and Haunting.

Design and the Environmental Humanities explored the role of design in providing solutions to complex environmental challenges, and how Environmental Humanities interest in the material world has not yet led to a sustained engagement with the practices of material culture and technology.

For recordings of all lectures and talks see here.
