'Anthropocene Histories' is a new monthly online seminar series at the Institute of Historical Research, exploring the historical matrix of the 'Anthropocene', the proposed (and contested) geological epoch marking the earth system's profound alteration by human activities. Proposed dates for the Anthropocene range from 50 to 10,000 years ago and this seminar takes a similarly wide perspective, both chronologically and disciplinarily.

Seminar convenors: Anna Echterhölter (Vienna), Sophie Page (UCL), Amanda Power (Oxford), John Sabapathy (UCL), Sujit Sivasundaram (Cambridge)

All welcome, this seminar is free to attend but booking is required.
