Join SCPL and Brock University each month for an engaging and often revelatory dive into history, culture, or the arts. Each month features a different lecture from a Brock University professor.

Scientists are coming to an agreement that we have entered a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. Human activity has radically altered the Earth system. But what does the concept of the Anthropocene mean culturally? How does it challenge our worldview? Can the concept initiate a reflection on how we relate to our natural environments and the multiple ecosystems we depend on for our continued existence? In this Brock Talk, Dr. Christine Daigle, Dr. Adam Dickinson, and Dr. Francine McCarthy will discuss how their interdisciplinary research team is investigating these questions, among many others, triggered by scientific findings at Crawford Lake (Ontario) and beyond.
