Still Watching Narrowly? Lecture: ‘Consider the birds of the air...’

What would Gilbert White make of today’s environmental ethics and its challenge to perception of human supremacy? How would he react to the Amazon activist, Nemonte Nenquimo’s challenge to the western world order?

This lecture will take place in the Field Studies Centre, and is part of the series Still Watching Narrowly? Gilbert White’s Legacy and 21st Century Environmentalism. This programme of talks will explore Gilbert White’s place in the rise of 21st century understandings of environmentalism, deep ecology, and the challenges that are emerging to the damage done by human-centred thinking. It will locate Gilbert White at the head of a renewed interest in healing our relationship with the rest of creation. This is the last lecture in the series, please see our website for more details for the earlier lectures.

Tickets are £8 and will be available soon! When you purchase your ticket it is for the in-person event, however you will also be sent a zoom link if you would prefer to watch the talk from home.
