Online Lecture Series "Welcome to the Anthropocene" 2024

In the summer term 2024, we hosted an interdisciplinary lecture series on the Anthropocene. With international speakers from the sciences, social sciences, and humanities who will examine the challenges and controversies of the Anthropocene from different perspectives.

The lecture series is a cooperation of VAN, the Department of Geology and the IGCP 732 project of the University of Vienna, together with the Forum Anthropozän.

The recordings of each session are now available via the Forum Anthropozän website.
