Dunbar Lecture with Travis Holloway - Millsaps College

As we face down a new era of climate change, we require nothing short of a philosophy for the end of the world. In this provocative and timely talk, the philosopher and poet Travis Holloway will propose a counternarrative for human beings in the Anthropocene. Folding the history of gender, race, colonialism, and capital into geological time, Holloway will retell the story of human beings in the Anthropocene in order to direct us towards ways of life that are outside of it.

Travis Holloway, M.F.A., Ph.D., teaches philosophy and cultural studies at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He is the recipient of Pratt's 2023-2024 Research Recognition Award, and a former Goldwater Fellow in Poetry at NYU.
