A highlight of our Anthropocene initiative was the book launch of The Last Of Its Kind by Gísli Pálsson, how an iconic bird’s final days exposed the reality of human-caused extinction. Hosted alongside UCL SELCS and the Icelandic Embassy, we are grateful to the Ambassador and to Gísli himself.

Last reminder about this afternoon's online seminar about cities in the Anthropocene! 👇
A photo of Florian Mussgnug giving his inaugural lecture with a slide titled 'is there anything in your daily lives that does /not/ feel apocalyptic?'
👏👏 to @fmussgnug.bsky.social for a 🎆 inaugural lecture on loving apocalypse too much @uclselcs.bsky.social last night!
Saul Bellow's Herzog, Frank Kermode, Loki & multiverse destruction, Mary Shelley's & apocalypses as a way of looking beyond & through them to something more sustaining.
It's official @fmussgnug.bsky.social @uclselcs.bsky.social has sold out the Gustave Tuck.
Clearly we do, indeed, love apocalypses too much.
