Making Sense of the Crisis
From the archives: My inaugural lecture at OST University
Last week I gave my inaugural lecture, Making Sense of the Crisis, to engineers and faculty at Switzerland’s OST University. In it, I explore how narrative subsumes biophysical reality, and how to break out of simple, linear constructs to create possibilities which reflect the complexity of earth's systems.
This talk is a synthesis of everything I’ve learned from Planet: Critical; an attempt to grasp at the big picture by using poetry to reveal systems. It was truly an honour to write it, and I’m thrilled to present you all with it.
I’m blown away by the response and support my lecture has received. A huge thank you to Professor Henrik Nordborg of Global Climate Compensation for the warm invitation, and for being such an excellent host.
