Dr Vlieghe addresses how we can appropriately deal with the seemingly hopeless situation we face in times of climate change.
He does so against the backdrop of the idea that education is possible only if we assume that there is no necessity in the way shape is given to our life in common (i.e. if we assume that there is hope).
Developing some ideas of Bruno Latour, he argues that this comes with a reconceptualisation of history as a post-humanist geo-history.
