Live at the AM: HumanNature Lecture Series, Mike Hulme

This lecture took place at the Australian Museum on 23 April 2018. How do different human cultures give shape and meaning to the idea of climate? Join Mike Hulme, Professor of Human Geography at the University of Cambridge, as he explores some of the many fascinating ways climates are historicized, known, changed, lived with, blamed, feared, represented, predicted, governed and, at least putatively, re-designed. Understanding these complex climate cultures is, Hulme contends, essential to any adequate understanding of the politics of climate change. HumanNature: The Humanities in a Time of Environmental Crisis lecture series investigates the increasing impact of crises such as climate change, mass species extinction, Indigenous dispossession, racism and the excesses of capitalism, and determine how to respond to the greatest global emergencies of our time.
