Drawing on E. O. Wilson’s renaming of the Anthropocene as the Eremocene, or Age of Loneliness, Newman’s talk will consider the crisis of climate change as a Constitutional crisis as well as a crucial moment for the intervention of the humanities. In other words, how can we consider the role of the humanities in confronting the ecological crisis?
This talk is free and open to the public, but we ask that you RSVP. A reception will follow in the Humanities Center on the first floor of Humanities Gateway.
