Anthropocene Symposium

Time: 9:30 am til 3:30 pm

Location: USF Tampa Campus, C.W. Bill Young Hall (CWY), Second floor Rotunda

Description: Inaugural Anthropocene Symposium: People, Politics and the Environment in the Anthropocene

The concept of the Anthropocene is immersed in politics at many scales, from global political discourse to community decision-making. Due to the dynamics of modern geopolitics, neoliberal policies, and a long history of ecological imperialism, the effects of climate change and other anthropogenic impacts on the Earth and Earth systems disproportionately impact people and places with less political and economic power. The science of the Anthropocene itself is situated within a complicated political context, as research may influence policy or be exploited for political purposes.

In this event, sponsored by the Institute for the Advanced Study of Culture and the Environment and the Anthropocene Working Group, students, post-doctoral scholars, and faculty from across the University of South Florida present research connected to this theme, looking at the interplay between the Anthropocene and politics.
