PANEL 18 /// POLITICS IN THE ANTHROPOCENE
CONVENORS: JAMES INGRAM (MCMASTER UNIVERSITY) AND JOHN MCGUIRE (UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN)
All inquiries about the panel should be sent to [email protected]
The advent of the Anthropocene and the manifold challenges of accelerated climate change pose innumerable challenges for which 'our' prevailing moral and political vocabularies appear unable to offer coherent answers. The aim of this panel is to help identify some of the 'blockages' that act as inhibitors against a timely collective response—and which may also be the facilitators of a more self-destructive politics of helplessness, nihilism, and resentment.
