The Anthropocene Colloquium is a monthly seminar devoted to the intellectual exchange and critical discussion of new research at the forefront of Anthropocene history and Anthropocene epistemology. Guest speakers are invited to present their current research projects or recently published works, and participants prepare themselves with readings that are circulated one week ahead of the colloquium date. The series is open to all members of the institute as well as past and future members of the research group Anthropocene Formations.
Organizer: Christoph Rosol
