Nomad Podcast Catherine Keller & Mark Maslin - The Anthropocene (N279)
The last two decades have seen a growing consensus that we have entered a new geological epoch, triggered solely by human behaviour. The anthropocene is an idea with huge implications for how we see ourselves as part of the living planet.
Mark Maslin is Professor of Earth Science at UCL and co-author of The Human Planet.
Catherine Keller is professor of constructive theology at Drew University, New Jersey, and is the author of many books including Facing Apocalypse.
