Hoch Cunningham Lectures are back for the spring semester! Join us this Thursday, Jan. 15, in Curtis Hall or virtually via Zoom for a lecture from Dr. Fern Thompsett.

In a time marked by climate crisis and growing political frustration, it can be easy to feel like the possibilities for environmentally just ways of living together are narrowing. And yet, human beings’ capacities to imagine and actualize better worlds persist, in subtle and spectacular ways. In this talk, Dr. Fern Thompsett will draw the idea of Ecotopia (eco + utopia) from speculative fiction into the real world, tracing key examples of ecological world-building from the historical Brook Farm in the Northeast, to her own research with present-day Anti-Civilization communities in the Pacific Northwest. By looking at how these experiments have pushed the limits of possibility into the realm of radical imagination and back again, Dr. Thompsett will show how opportunities for change can be found in the here-and-now, sometimes in unexpected places.

This talk is co-sponsored by the University Ecologies Project and Tufts Department of Anthropology.
