Session 5: Environmental Disappointment (Wednesday 8th December)

Our next session will take place on Wednesday 8th December in room G35 in Senate House from 6-8pm. We will be looking at two extracts focusing on responses to ecological issues, one from Politics of Nature: How to bring the Sciences into Democracy (2004) by Bruno Latour and one from The Politics of Climate Change (2009) by Anthony Giddens.

Politics of Nature (London & Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2004).

The Politics of Climate Change (London: Polity Press, 2009).

As optional further reading, Latour includes a very short section at the end of the book entitled 'Summary of the Argument (for Readers in a Hurry...).'

We welcome postgraduates from all disciplines.
