On October 10, 2024, the Himalaya Program proudly hosted Dr. Ritodhi Chakraborty, lecturer from Lincoln University’s Department of Environmental Management, for an insightful seminar titled “Witnessing a Himalayan (M)Anthropocene.” Dr. Chakraborty delved into the promises and challenges posed by the (M)Anthropocene in the Indian Himalayas, drawing on his extensive experience with rural communities to question whether Ecological Masculinity could offer a meaningful response to environmental crises.
The event, held at UBC’s Liu Institute of Global Affairs, was a resounding success, fostering interdisciplinary conversations and deepening perspectives on sustainable futures in the Himalayas and beyond.
