Hosted by the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities (PPEH), this workshop is part of the ongoing covid X climate initiative, in connection with the PPEH 2020-2021 annual topic, “Transition/Transfomation” directed by Associate Professor and Chair of the Graduate Group Daniel Barber.
"The Covid-19 virus and the social dynamics of isolation reconfigure how we think about both urban and interior space, and open up new reflections on the challenge of transforming lifestyles with carbon more clearly in mind. In these rapid response discussions, we aim to provide a venue for new considerations presented by the virus, speculations on responses and possible futures, at a moment when much of that future will no doubt still be quite difficult to see. Topics under discussion will include new considerations for inhabiting cities and interiors, practices of sensing, and new objects of analysis that emerge at the covid X climate nexus."
Participants include Andrés Jaque (Columbia), Shalanda Baker (Northeastern University), Kian Goh (UCLA), and Ivan Munuera (Princeton). The conversation will be moderated by Barber.
