Conversations on the Anthropocene With Jenny Offill and Jessi Jezewska Stevens
June 15, 2020 - Season 1 - Episode 7

In this episode we are sharing our first event from Conversations on the Anthropocene, an online discussion series meant to open a space to have the difficult discussions about climate change.  In this talk we had the pleasure of welcoming two exciting and provocative writers and fellow members of XR, novelist Jenny Offill who is the author of Last Things, Department of Speculation, and most recently Weather, and author Jessi Jezewska Stevens who recently released her debut novel The Exhibition of Persephone Q.  Here Jenny and Jessi discuss climate grief, activism and the intersection of climate change and the corona virus pandemic with Extinction Rebellion.  Please support our guests by buying their books from Bookshop!
