Loads of great analysis here, unsurprisingly. Less convinced by the 2 roads forward proposed. Government intervention will likely be counterproductive if government's lead department keeps conceptualising universities as big schools, essentially sans research functions. Unpopular to say, I know. 1/2

@anthropoceneucl.bsky.social is delighted that our #UCL200 June series on 'Emergence/Emergency' will kick off with @po-dittmar.bsky.social & an interdisciplinary discussion of 'The invention of the animal'. Bentham House, 1 June 2-5pm—email for details. #medievalsky #Anthropocene #envhum #envhist

Un très grand livre d’histoire à paraître cette semaine. À la suite de Jacques Le Goff, Jean-Claude Schmitt et Jérôme Baschet, Pierre-Olivier Dittmar nous offre un monumental exercice d’anthropologie historique. Et nous aide à penser notre passé tout autant que notre présent.

🍄More than human UCL: a transdisciplinary mini-series🍄 Bringing together anthropology, archaeology, heritage, visual art, and environmental humanities, the series will explore alternative ways of co-living with plants, fungi, animals and other non‑humans. 🔗https://tinyurl.com/4m7b5dnn

A highlight of our Anthropocene initiative was the book launch of The Last Of Its Kind by Gísli Pálsson, how an iconic bird’s final days exposed the reality of human-caused extinction. Hosted alongside UCL SELCS and the Icelandic Embassy, we are grateful to the Ambassador and to Gísli himself.

Many thanks to the Centre for Apocalyptic & Postapocalyptic Studies (CAPAS) @uniheidelberg.bsky.social for welcoming @fmussgnug.bsky.social, @jwwsabapathy.bsky.social & Emily Baker to talk about emergence and emergencies last week—we look forward to our discussions in Bloomsbury next spring!
