Read Think Act Ep. 11: On false separations with Richard Seymour
Jessica
Our Read Think Act video series is back for 2022! This is the series where writing and activism go hand in hand (or head to head) and we explore the space where they intersect, taking ideas from the pages and into our communities.
For episode 11, activist and author Richard Seymour answers three questions about reading and ecological awareness, the false separation of humanity and nature and how honest grief can lead us to start anew, sharing questions and conclusions from his new collection of essays: 'The Disenchanted Earth: Reflections on Ecosicialism and Barbarism'.
Below you'll find links to books by other authors mentioned by Richard in the episode.
