Blackness and Anthropocene Ethics

  • Workshop Leader | Axelle Karera: Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Emory University
  • Moderator | Shannon Winnubst: Chair and Professor, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies

In this workshop, Axelle Karera and students will consider how the regimes of Anthropocenean consciousness have been powerful in disavowing racial antagonisms. The workshop will address how Anthropocene ethics have foreclosed proper political framings by promoting a moral philosophy unequipped to face the racial histories of our current ecological predicament and how the “political Anthropocene” (if there is or ought to be one) will remain an impossibility until it is able to wrestle with the problem of black suffering.
