Environmental imaginaries, story-telling and the politics of changing perspectives

How do humans relate to their environments? What stories do we tell ourselves and others? How do we talk about our climate future and our climate past? In these talks, we will travel from our living rooms to the wilderness of Antarctica. Dr Giulia Carabelli will discuss our relationships with houseplants and how these might re-imagine space for change. Dr Joanne Yao will then talk about how imagining Antarctica as a pure wilderness has inspired different types of international cooperation, and how we imagine climate futures as a return to the past.
