About this Event
This interdisciplinary conversation on the climate crisis navigates the shoals of eco-grief, various forms of denial, and the real possibility of despair. Among others, we will discuss thinking like an eco-system, the wild, environmental rights, eco-justice reformation, a multi-species lens, commanding hope, and earth as creation and home.
