This panel discussion with co-authors Kaya Barry and Jondi Keane will discuss the book’s investigation of how measurement grounds our ability to identify and value relationships in the world, proposing creative and collective alternatives to anthropocentric measures. Creative Measures of the Anthropocene: Art, Mobilities, and Participatory Geographies is published by Palgave Macmillian.
