On Wednesday 24 May 2023, 17:30hrs, Kathryn Yusoff, the author of A Billion Black Anthropocenes will give a public lecture at the Environmental Humanities Center Amsterdam. Yusoff’s current work focuses on Inhuman Memory. She will be joined by members of Planetary Portals, a creative research group that uses imperial archives to create critical cartographies of the colonial praxis of emergence and extraction. In the afternoon before the lecture, Yusoff and members of the Planetary Portal will hold a graduate seminar for MA and PhD students.

Dr Kristian Mennen’s lecture “How to oppose the reclamation of ‘waste land’? Political strategies of the Dutch nature conservation movement in the 1930s”, which took place in our online Entanglements Series on 30 September 2021, was recorded. The video is now available on the Environmental Humanities Center’s YouTube channel.

Next in our Entanglements Series: Reclamation of wasteland became a prominent issue for the conservationist movement around the association Natuurmonumenten (‘Natural Monuments’) in the 1930s. Infrastructural and reclamation works on an unprecedented scale, made possible by state subsidies on salaries for the unemployed, threatened to destroy the remaining surface of ‘waste land’ within a generation. Join us in the discussion of the political strategies employed then and the discourse around them.
