WAG Public Lecture Series Entanglements: Humans, Animals, Environments

Summertime: Reflections On A Vanishing Future with Professor Danielle Celermajer, USYD Professor Celermajer will discuss her new book: Summertime: Reflections on a Vanishing Future (Penguin 2021). Gathered here is the story of Jimmy the pig and others written in the shadow of the bushfires that ravaged Australia. In the midst of the death and grief of animals, humans, trees, and ecologies, Celermajer asks us to look around and become present to all living beings and dying through the loss of our shared home. At once a howl in the forest and an elegy for a country’s soul, these meditations are lyrical, profound and heartbreaking.
