The Vermont Humanities Council will host the May Snapshot Series here at NWPL!

UVM professor Adrian Ivakhiv, founder of EcoCultureLab, introduces the rapidly growing field of Environmental Humanities, which is designed to address ecological crisis, climate crisis, dramatic global inequality, political polarization, media frenzy, future pandemics, and much more. Ivakhiv will focus on what it means to live at this present moment, a moment problematically called “the Anthropocene.”

This event is free and has a hybrid format: join us in person or online. Either way, please register with the VHC at this link.
