Seminar Series
Engineers without Borders and Whole Earth?
Welcome to a seminar series for students
''No time to waste – climate change and the challenges for engineers and and scientists'' with Staffan Laestadius
"Earth imagery and planetary imagination: Perspectives on Whole Earth" with Nina Wormbs
How do we understand globalisation and climate change? Both are to some extent invisible, hard to see with out own eyes. Still, images are important to convey messages of change. Nina Wormbs will talk about the role of images in creating the idea of a Whole Earth and how invisible climate change can become visible.
"Edens, Arks and Spaceships: Visions of Whole Earth since the Environmental Revolution” with Sabine Höhler
The idea of Earth as a unique and fragile container of life came of age in an era shaped by space travel, the Cold War and the rising environmental movement. But how inclusive were expressions of Earth as paradisiacal garden, ark and spaceship in science and fiction? This talk will explore how Whole Earth metaphors and blueprints informed conservationist as well as technocratic solutions for planetary sustainability.
Engineers Without Borders work by raising engineer's awareness of sustainability issues and using our skills to help make the world a little better. Contact
