Trainings & Events

Presented by the Goodwin-Niering Center for the Environment at Connecticut College.

Join Connecticut College for a full day, virtual symposium with experts from across the country as they explore the diverse and often unanticipated ways that human-generated wastes impact local and global ecosystems, as well as human communities. It probes the scale and forms of capitalism’s indelible contributions to the stratigraphic markers of a still-to-be-defined Anthropocene. Drawing from recent research in the natural and social sciences as well as the arts and humanities, it examines the structures, human impacts, ecological outcomes, and long-term implications of waste and discard in the twenty-first century.
