Adapting Environmental Ethics for the Anthropocene @ Lang Hall, 424 Hunter North
May 3 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Facts about the increasing collective human influence on biological systems, from local ecosystems to planetary-level Earth systems, support the proposal that we now live in the Anthropocene. What do such facts imply, if anything, about norms and values guiding land management and conservation practices going forward? Do facts about anthropogenic drivers that can result in undesirable and irreversible changes to ecological and Earth systems license further intentional interventions and underwrite calls for “planetary management”? What would appropriate respect for wildness look like on a human-dominated planet? If human influence on environmental systems pushes them over thresholds into radically new states, are received Western or Indigenous ideologies sufficient to guide an appropriate response? How should we think about responding to such radical environmental change? How, if at all, should environmental ethics adapt to the Anthropocene?

Hunter College, CUNY is hosting a panel discussion next week: “Adapting Environmental Ethics for the Anthropocene.”  
It will feature Emma Marris (Acclaimed Environmental Writer and Journalist), Arthur Obst (Princeton University), and Allen Thompson (Oregon State University).  Abstract below.
 
The event will take place 3–5 p.m. on Fri., May 3 in Ida K. Lang Recital Hall (424 Hunter North).  
The Departments of Philosophy, Geography & Environmental Sciences, Urban Policy & Planning, and Film & Media Studies are co-sponsoring the event with support from the Office of the Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences and the Office of the Provost.
We hope you can attend.  Please share this with your NYC area–based colleagues (e.g., GPS, BPP, PPN, and NYCAPhiCal) and anyone else you think will find this event interesting.
You can RSVP here or using the QR code on the attached flyers.
