Inhabiting the Anthropocene

This blog from the Anthropocene Learning Community at the University of Oklahoma, explores the many ways that humans are impacting the earth. Authored by an interdisciplinary group of ecologists, biologists, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, and other scholars, Inhabiting the Anthropocene aims to "provide a kind of 'guided tour' of scholarly literature relevant to the broad theme of the Anthropocene, and to the idea of habitability." With this aim, the blog features reflective essays (What We're Thinking) along with an extensive interdisciplinary bibliography of scholarship relating to the Anthropocene (What We're Reading). Recent contributions include a consideration by biologist Ingo Schlupp that outlines how humans influence not only species extinction, but also the rise of new species; an essay by historian Peter Soppelsa about how to date and historicize the anthropocene; and an analysis by political theorist Marit Hammond on the role of art in the Anthropocene.
