An evening with Clive Hamilton

Humans have become so powerful that we have disrupted the functioning of the Earth, bringing on a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. The stable environmental conditions that allowed civilisation to flourish are disappearing.

What does it mean to have arrived at this point, where human history and Earth history collide? Clive Hamilton argues we need to rethink everything.

Clive Hamilton is an Australian author and public intellectual. Since 2008 he has been Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra.

To start the evening, Clive will evoke a fascinating conversation about the fate of our planet followed by a panel discussion tackling the overwhelming question of our era: our species’ willingness to watch on passively and calmly as the once human friendly Earth is gradually but inexorably destroyed.

There will be opportunity for Q&A followed by canapes and drinks available for purchase.
