Last reminder about this afternoon's online seminar about cities in the Anthropocene! 👇

👏👏 to @fmussgnug.bsky.social for a 🎆 inaugural lecture on loving apocalypse too much @uclselcs.bsky.social last night! Saul Bellow's Herzog, Frank Kermode, Loki & multiverse destruction, Mary Shelley's & apocalypses as a way of looking beyond & through them to something more sustaining.

It's official @fmussgnug.bsky.social @uclselcs.bsky.social has sold out the Gustave Tuck. Clearly we do, indeed, love apocalypses too much.

Calling all @ucl.ac.uk ECRs working on #envhums, #health, #socialscience, #Anthropocene, and on climate/health/cultural @uclgrandchallenges.bsky.social related topics. Do come to our ECR showcase lunch Weds, incl news on ECR ££ for 25/26.

Large red-letter day Tues 28 Oct @uclselcs.bsky.social + @anthropoceneucl.bsky.social when my wonderful colleague @fmussgnug.bsky.social will give his inaugural professorial lecture on why we love apocalypse so much (and maybe shouldn't…?). In person, 18:00. #Anthropocene, #envhum, #literature
