Donald Worster on environmental history. This is an entry in the KTH EHL VideoDictionary.

In this episode from the New Books Network podcast, former Rachel Carson Center fellow Helen Rozwadowski is interviewed on her 2018 book, Vast Expanses: A History of the Oceans.

Libby Robin and Cameron Muir discuss representations of the Anthropocene in museums and events.

The authors put forward the idea of “speculative geology” to explain the violence inherent in volcanism, drawing on three volcanic episodes and the more recent unexpected striking of magma in Iceland’s Krafla volcanic caldera.

The authors introduce a special section of Environmental Humanities on manifestations of deep time through places, objects, and practices, focusing on three modes through which it is encountered: enchantment, violence, and haunting.

Eileen Crist critiques the recent proposal to name our current geological epoch “the Anthropocene.”
