Talk | Love in the Anthropocene


Increasingly we are living in a world of our creation—to some extent intentional (e.g., the house in the country you built last summer), to some extent inadvertent (e.g., climate change), and to some extent, who knows why (e.g., the digitalization of everything). Bob Dylan talked about being “tired of yourself and all of your creations.” What happens to love in a world in which there is no escape from them? Speaker Dale Jamieson is Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy, Affiliated Professor of Law, Affiliated Professor of Bioethics, and Chair of the Environmental Studies Department at New York University. He is also Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Dickson Poon School of Law at King’s College, London, and Adjunct Professor at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia.
