Karen Pinkus (University of Southern California)

The Disjointed Temporality of Climate Change 

Karen Pinkus is Professor of French and Italian and Comparative Literature at UCLA. She is currently working on the role of the humanities, and specifically literary theory, in confronting climate change. She argues that the Humanities are crucial to the most basic thinking about what it might mean to “solve” the problems of greenhouse gas emissions.
