Feral Atlas:
The More-than-Human Anthropocene offers an approach to understanding the
Anthropocene through its granularity. To
access this granular Anthropocene, we require multiple kinds of observational
practices: from natural scientists and humanists; from Indigenous elders and
BIPOC scholars; and from observers situated in diverse Anthropocene patches.
This talk offers an Anthropocene that is both particular and planetary.
