As part of her curation of the Human/Nature strand, Professor Joanna Gavins discusses what it means to be human in the natural environment and the degrees to which we see ourselves as part of or separate from the natural world.
How do we understand our relationship with the rest of the planet and how might we construct a future in which we can live a good life within planetary boundaries?
