Politics of the Earth. Renewing research, renewing action

For three years, the interdisciplinary research programme Politics of the Earth has enabled the development of innovative and interdisciplinary research around the new issues brought upon by the Anthropocene.

The programme of Université Sorbonne Paris-Cité (USPC) has gathered researchers from diverse backgrounds, going beyond traditional borders between Earth sciences and social sciences.

 

This international conference is organized within the framework of the European project EDGE and will showcase the full range of research resulting from the programme, with foreign colleagues reflecting on it.

 

With among guest speakers: 
– Bruno Latour, Scientific Coordinator, Politics of the Earth ; medialab Sciences Po;

– Jan Zalasiewicz, Lancaster University;

– Audrey Pulvar, President, Fondation pour la Nature et l’Homme;

– Henri Landes, Executive director, GoodPlanet Foundation;

On the 4th and 5th December 2017, the different teams involved in the project will share their results and confront them to the works of major scholars and thinkers in their field.

Thus the conference intends to break away from disciplinary divides and bring a fresh look on the key issues brought upon by the Anthropocene.
