HESCOR MESH Vision Forum Session - Politics of More-Than-Human Life and Earth System Science

This series of events, taking place on December 2 & December 9 & December 17, 2025 | 17:00 – 19:00, is co-organized by Multidisciplinary Environmental Studies in the Humanities (MESH) and the HESCOR research hub on the coupled evolution of human and Earth systems. The aim is to explore interdisciplinary avenues from within the humanities toward a “humanities-induced” Earth System Science (Simon and Thomas, 2022) – i.e., a perspective on the functioning of the planetary system that takes into account observations and insights from the humanities, including on the role of human agency and multispecies relations.
