Andrea R. Gammon & Claire Hamlett

Society & Culture

Frequency: 1 episode/7d. Total Eps: 7

Earth to Philosophy is a podcast featuring philosophers working on nature and the environment. Each episode, hosts Claire Hamlett and Andrea Gammon invite a guest to discuss some of their work, usually a recent book or paper, or perhaps a side project they have going. It's an attempt to bring environmental philosophy to a wider audience, a no-budget labour of love, and an excuse for Andrea and Claire to talk with people whose work they find interesting.

Mateusz is an editor, writer, translator, and researcher. He holds a BA in Film and Theatre Studies from London Metropolitan University, a MA in semiotics (Aarhus University, Denmark/Tartu University, Estonia), and in September 2017 obtained a PhD in philosophy with a thesis on human-animal relations (Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands)

1: Christopher Preston

Season 1 · Episode 1

Sunday, April 12, 2020 • Duration 47:04

Our first episode! We speak with Christopher Preston about his most recent book, The Synthetic Age (MIT Press, 2018).

Christopher is Professor of Philosophy and a Research Fellow in the Mansfield Center's Program on Ethics and Public Affairs at the University of Montana (and he's also Andrea's former M.A. supervisor).

Christopher teaches and writes in environmental philosophy at the University of Montana, Missoula. Much of his research connects to the idea of the Anthropocene, the epoch in which human influence on the planet is everywhere. He studies emerging Anthropocene technologies for their impact on the human-nature experience. He also has interests in restoration and rewilding, exploring differences between Western European and U.S. approaches to wildlife and landscape process. Despite the growing influence of humans on all natural systems, Christopher still believes in wildness!

You can find his blog about Nature 2.0 at plastocene.com, and you can buy his book here: The Synthetic Age: Outdesigning Evolution, Resurrecting Species, and Reengineering Our World.
