How have technologies shaped the most intimate, personal, and vulnerable aspects of our lives? What impacts will they have on our bodies and relationships in the future as technologies continue to change and evolve? Join us for a panel presentation and roundtable discussion with three experts whose research focuses on exploring these questions!
The editors of the Posthumanism in Practice book series invite submissions for the second volume, continuing the exploration of how posthumanist ideas transform practice across disciplines and beyond. For Volume 2, contributors are encouraged to reflect on how posthumanism reshapes their practices or propose new ways of thinking and acting inspired by posthumanist theory.

“Archived Rivers and Political Forests: Literary Interventions in the Anthropocene.” The 2024 Marilyn Rose Lectures.
Thursday, February 15, 2024, 17:30-19:30
Studio C (MWS251), Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, Brock University.
This year’s event will feature Julia Fiedorczuk and Lisa Robertson, two distinguished writers at the forefront of contemporary literary practice. Their work offers provocative interventions into ongoing conversations about the nature of stories and storytelling in the Anthropocene / Capitalocene by interrogating and reframing the politics of aesthetic forms, the practice of literary production, and the complex entanglements of social and ecological temporalities.
