CLIMATE WEEK AT NYU
ENTANGLED: WRITING ANIMALS IN A WARMING WORLD
The climate crisis is also a crisis of relationships. What do we owe our fellow creatures who share this warming world? How do we think about animals as beings with their own histories and claims on the future?
Linnea Ryshke, author of Afield, and Sangamithra Iyer, author of Governing Bodies: A Memoir, A Confluence, A Watershed, grapple with multi-species encounters and futures in an era of climate crisis. They’ll be in conversation with Mia MacDonald, adjunct professor of environmental studies at NYU and executive director of Brighter Green.
Join us for a discussion on writing across species lines — how attention, empathy, and story can guide us toward more compassionate ways of being.
Jamieson Conference Room, 6th floor, Goddard Hall, 79 Washington Square East
Co-sponsored by Brighter Green and the Culture and Animals Foundation, as part of NYC Climate Week.
