Join the Collaborative Digital Research Space (CDRS) on November 20th, 2023, at 12pm EST for a hybrid Research Spotlight event: “Discourses of Sustainability and Futurity across the Environmental Humanities.” Panelists Joseph Gerbasi (UofT), Sarandha Jain (UofT), Bethany Wiggin (UPenn), Jane Robbins Mize (UPenn), Venus Bivar (Oxford), and Martha Swift (Oxford) with moderator Imre Szeman (UofT) will discuss the role of futurity in ’sustainability’ discourses. Approaching this issue from various disciplinary backgrounds, the panellists will also consider how their own work engages with speculative environmental futures which are foundational to the notion of ‘sustainability’ itself. All are welcome to join either in person at the Collaborative Digital Research Space in the Maanjiwe Nendamowinan building (MN3230) at the University of Toronto Mississauga, or virtually on Zoom.
