GCSJ seminar series: Existential Dis/Connections: Opening up conversations

Dates
Friday, April 11, 2025 - 12:00 to 13:30
Location
Online

Speaker: Dr Jane McCarthy

In this seminar we will introduce the developing work of Existential Dis/Connections.

This Open Societal Challenge seeks to offer a hub for addressing key themes, concerning:

  • the existential threats of mortality and the aftermath of death;
  • the existential threats of the climate and ecological emergencies;
  • the need for a decolonising approach to both, to break out of coloniality/modernity and connect these central crises facing all life on earth. 

The seminar will offer tasters for making such connections from a number of different starting points, opening up conversations and encouraging new spaces that can accommodate discomfort, uncertainty and new possibilities.
