About

Climate change, global plagues, state collapse—let's just say it. We're living through the end of the world. But if we can face the hard truths of the apocalypse, we can use them to cultivate meaningful, consequential lives and build the kinds of societies we need and want. In this talk, Lizzie Wade shares five lessons from her book APOCALYPSE: How Catastrophe Transformed Our World and Can Forge New Futures that show us how to leave behind the world that has failed us and create a better one instead. This event is sponsored by the Anthropology and Journalism programs at Wake Forest University and will take place in the ZSR Library Auditorium (Room 404).
