In 2023, we are exploring texts that consider relationships between law and the inhuman, law in/as nature, and more-than-human communities and relations.
Our focus for this week will be: Gabriele Dürbeck and Philip Hüpkes, ‘The Anthropocene as an Age of Scalar Complexity’ in Gabriele Dürbeck and Philip Hüpkes(eds), Narratives of Scale in the Anthropocene: Imagining Human Responsibility in an Age of Scalar Complexity (2022) 1-20.
We are associated with and share common intellectual and activist pursuits with the La Trobe Climate Network.
The group is co-convened by Roanna McClelland and Dr Kathleen Birrell. We meet fortnightly, online.
Please email rmcclelland@student.unimelb.edu.au to RSVP and for access to reading resources.
