We are delighted to announce that, on 2 November, Professor\u00a0Adriana<\/span> Petryna at the University of Pennsylvania will join GSEJ’s online seminar to discuss her new book,\u00a0Horizon Work: At the Edges of Knowledge in an Age of Runaway Climate Change<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Climate crises disrupt a fundamental ability to project how the environment will act over time based on established patterns. Rapidly faltering projections are colliding with dangerous realities of emergency response, particularly to wildfires. Adriana<\/span> Petryna\u2019s new book explores climate futures in terms of horizoning, a mode of thinking that considers unnatural disasters against horizons of expectation in which knowledge is actionable, not obsolete, and requiring new alignments across political, activist, and Indigenous spheres.<\/p>\n

Professor Adriana<\/span> Petryna is Director of the M.D.-Ph.D. Program in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. She has conducted research in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Brazil, and the US. In her studies, she probes the socio-political natures of science, how populations are enrolled in experimental knowledge-production, and what becomes of citizenship and ethics in that process. Among her books are Life Exposed: Biological Citizens after Chernobyl<\/i>and When Experiments Travel: Clinical Trials & the Global Search for Human Subjects<\/i>, along with the recently published Horizon Work: At the Edges of Knowledge in an Age of Runaway Climate Change<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The event will take place on Zoom between 16:00 and 17:30 GMT on 2 November. \u00a0<\/strong>It is free and open to all, but registration is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n
