Mining Conversations
The Futurepasts of ... Copper
Mining Conversations invites you to join its initial online session The Futurepasts of … Copper. It will be the start of a monthly online series to critically reflect and discuss extraction and energy landscapes, across geographies and temporalities—up to this moment in which resource regimes more than ever shape economic, societal and environmental realities planetarily and locally in very unequal ways.
The series is hosted by the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology and the Anthropocene Commons network.
The series’ first session will take place on April 29th, 8-9.30pm (CEST). Please register here.
The following speakers will initiate the session with their short inputs:
– Gustave Lester, historian of science, Centre for Anthropocene History, KTH Stockholm
– Victor Hugo Salinas Silva, geographer, educator, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile
– Jennifer Scappettone, writer, artist, educator, University of Chicago
