The Coastal Reading Group: Wilderness, Ethics, and the Capitalocene

The Coastal Reading Group hosts readers from different literal and metaphorical coasts who trouble the subjects of wilderness, speciation, humanness and ways of knowing through diverse engagements with non-humans.

Recently, we have been making events that explore the possibilities for grief of the loss of non-human species in the Anthropocene. These events are durational, filled with silences, and invite work with regional living, lived, and yet-to-live species implicated in regimes of colonialism and capitalism.
