SCAS TALKS Episode 66 - Mathias Thaler: "Can Science Fiction Help Us Imagine New Ways of Acting Together in the Anthropocene?"

Professor Matthias Thaler discusses the role of literature, particularly science fiction and climate fiction, in fostering political imagination and action during the Anthropocene.

Thaler argues that speculative fiction can illuminate new ways of perceiving the world and acting together, serving as a powerful, indirect influence on political engagement with climate and biodiversity crises.
