In the Facing the Anthropocene webinar series, Duke Divinity School Professor Norman Wirzba interviews leading scholars in political economy, history, anthropology, theology, philosophy, environmental humanities, and law, in order to examine the conditions under which a hopeful future might be imagined.
In this webinar of the series, Wirzba interviews Joyce Chaplin, the James Duncan Phillips Professor of Early American History at Harvard University. A former Fulbright Scholar and Guggenheim Fellow, her work has focused on the histories of science, the environment, and climate. Her books include The New Worlds of Thomas Robert Malthus: Rereading the Principle of Population, Round About the Earth: Circumnavigation from Magellan to Orbit, and The First Scientific American: Benjamin Franklin and the Pursuit of Genius.
Wirzba is the Gilbert T. Rowe Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology at Duke Divinity and a senior fellow at Duke University's Kenan Institute for Ethics, which is sponsoring the webinar series.
