Summary
The interdisciplinary research group who first described a ‘Great Acceleration’, c. 1950, produced a suite of now-famous graphs depicting large-scale socio-economic changes. Significantly, the first displays of world net population growth. In subsequent analysis of the Anthropocene, however, stark late modern changes in human fertility, mortality, ageing, and consumption have probably been the least discussed of all the variables. This is one measure of the highly successful critique of the problematisation of population.
This small closed meeting brings together key scholars of the Anthropocene, of population, of reproductive justice and of political ecology and economy. How do we think about population in the Anthropocene?
