Imagining Alternative Ways Forward in the Anthropocene
Funded by the Henry Luce Foundation
We aim to design and implement a new model of generative, public-facing, multidisciplinary engagement at the nexus of religion, technology, and justice in the Anthropocene.
Occupying the margins and borderlands of the academic religious studies, drawing insights and practices from emergent design, poetry, counterfactual histories, and speculative fiction, our shared task is to imagine new possibilities on the horizon of climate collapse.
How can religious studies help us imagine and live into a finite but just and thriving future?
Finite Futures Lectures
A series of free public lectures by internationally renowned scholars and public intellectuals address the question, What if it's already too late? What if it's too late to avoid some kind of major ecological catastrophe? What kind of future do we want to make for ourselves on such a horizon? What might it look like to "collapse well," as Joanna Macy puts it.
