Geohumanities, Climate Geopoetics, and the Anthropocene

Dr. Eric Magrane, New Mexico State University

Geography Colloquium

This hybrid talk and reading will explore how the geohumanities—and geopoetics in particular—might play a role in examining the multiple ways that climate change is framed, understood, engaged, and contested. Magrane will read from and contextualize a series of his climate poems that engage with the multiple narratives or frames of climate change and the Anthropocene.
