A highlight of our Anthropocene initiative was the book launch of The Last Of Its Kind by Gísli Pálsson, how an iconic bird’s final days exposed the reality of human-caused extinction. Hosted alongside UCL SELCS and the Icelandic Embassy, we are grateful to the Ambassador and to Gísli himself.

Many thanks to the Centre for Apocalyptic & Postapocalyptic Studies (CAPAS) @uniheidelberg.bsky.social for welcoming @fmussgnug.bsky.social, @jwwsabapathy.bsky.social & Emily Baker to talk about emergence and emergencies last week—we look forward to our discussions in Bloomsbury next spring!

I'm afraid not, but it was recorded & hopefully the stream should be available soon.

2 weeks today! 👇

Don’t forget to grab your free tickets 🎟️

Last reminder about this afternoon's online seminar about cities in the Anthropocene! 👇

A photo of Florian Mussgnug giving his inaugural lecture with a slide titled 'is there anything in your daily lives that does /not/ feel apocalyptic?'

👏👏 to @fmussgnug.bsky.social for a 🎆 inaugural lecture on loving apocalypse too much @uclselcs.bsky.social last night!

Saul Bellow's Herzog, Frank Kermode, Loki & multiverse destruction, Mary Shelley's & apocalypses as a way of looking beyond & through them to something more sustaining.

It's official @fmussgnug.bsky.social @uclselcs.bsky.social has sold out the Gustave Tuck.

Clearly we do, indeed, love apocalypses too much.

Calling all @ucl.ac.uk ECRs working on #envhums, #health, #socialscience, #Anthropocene, and on climate/health/cultural @uclgrandchallenges.bsky.social related topics. Do come to our ECR showcase lunch Weds, incl news on ECR ££ for 25/26.

Large red-letter day Tues 28 Oct @uclselcs.bsky.social + @anthropoceneucl.bsky.social when my wonderful colleague @fmussgnug.bsky.social will give his inaugural professorial lecture on why we love apocalypse so much (and maybe shouldn't…?). In person, 18:00.
