Nature, Violence, Courage (In Person)

This event is part of the Yorkshire Festival of Story.

What does it mean to stand for the natural world in an age of crisis?

In this thought-provoking presentation, Nicholas explores the complex relationship between nature, violence, and courage while asking how environmental and socio-political upheavals are reshaping our sense of solidarity and responsibility.

Part of his wider project Nature Transformed: Erosion and Recovery of Solidarity, which is currently under consideration for Bloomsbury’s Environmental Cultures series, this talk weaves together years of research with urgent questions for today. This talk draws on many of the themes from his previous research, but focuses primarily on the current environmental and socio-political crises we are facing. Nicholas invites us to look unflinchingly at the forces that threaten our shared future, and to consider the acts of courage, both large and small, that might help us reclaim it.

This is a space for anyone who believes that ideas can inspire action, since facing hard truths together is the first step towards meaningful change.
