ANTHROPOCENE COMMONS: COPPER

Invitation | Mining Conversations. The Futurepasts of … Copper
April 29, 8-9.30pm (Central European Standard Time) (1-2:30 pm Central Time)


We warmly invite you to join the initial online session of Mining Conversations | The Futurepasts of … Copper. It will be the start of a monthly online series to critically reflect and discuss extraction and energy landscapes, across geographies and temporalities—up to this moment in which resource regimes more than ever shape economic, societal and environmental realities planetarily and locally in very unequal ways. 

The series is hosted by the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology and the Anthropocene Commons network. 

The series' first session will take place on April 29th, 8-9.30pm (CEST). Please register via the button below.

The following speakers will initiate the session with their short inputs: 

  • Gustave Lester, historian of science, Centre for Anthropocene History, KTH Stockholm

  • Victor Hugo Salinas Silva, geographer, educator, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile

  • Jennifer Scappettone, artist, translator and teacher, University of Chicago

Please find at this link the short concept for the series and the speakers' bios.

We are very much looking forward to our conversations to unfold.

Aleksandra Kaye, John Kim and Carlina Rossée
