IAHI Entanglements Series: How Do We (re)Make Our Planet?

How have humans reshaped our planet? How do we address the social and environmental consequences of our carbon economy? What will the future of planet earth look like?

James Syvitski and Stephanie Kane visit Indianapolis on April 12 for the IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute’s Entanglements Series. Entanglements brings together scientists, humanists, and artists to discuss “big questions” that affect all of us.

James Syvitski , Executive Director of the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System and the former Director of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, will join Stephanie Kane, ethnographer and ecologist of the IU School of Global and International Studies, in a conversation that will take us on a journey to answer one of humanity’s most pressing questions: “how do we (re)make our planet?”

Over the course of this evening, Syvitski and Kane will discuss climate change, environmental justice, and how the relationship between biology, society, culture, and technology determines the future of humanity. This will be an event that changes the way you think about your place in the world.
