Historical Epistemologies of Planetary Modelling June 8-9th 2023, Berlin, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science.
Adam Wickberg is co-organizing (with Thomas Turnbull, MPIWG) a two-day workshop on Historical Epistemologies of Planetary Modelling at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. This event brings together historians of science, technology and the environment for a discussion-oriented workshop focusing on the historical epistemology of planetary modelling. The aim is to interrogate how data and modelling came to dominate the understanding of the planetary crisis as well as to think critically about how power relations affect knowledge production about global environmental change. The workshop will explore the integrative potentials as well as the epistemic frictions between Earth system science and historical and archaeological complexity of the Anthropocene.
