Wildlife in the Anthropocene: Conservation after Nature

An interdisciplinary discussion of Jamie Lorimer's book Jamie
Lorimer (Associate Professor in Human Geography, University of
Oxford) discusses his book with William Beinart (Rhodes Professor
of Race Relations, University of Oxford), Daniel Grimley (Professor
of Music, University of Oxford) and Nikolaj Lübecker (Associate
Professor of French, University of Oxford). In Wildlife in the
Anthropocene, Jamie Lorimer argues that the idea of nature as a
pure and timeless place characterized by the absence of humans has
come to an end. Offering a thorough appraisal of the
Anthropocene—an era in which human actions affect and influence all
life and all systems on our planet—Lorimer unpacks its implications
for changing definitions of nature and the politics of wildlife
conservation.
