How Anthropology Might Inspire Anti-Capitalist And Extinction Rebellion Activism

Tuesday, May 14, 2019 - 19:00

The looming threat of climate catastrophe is forcing us all to re-think everything we thought we knew. Extinction Rebellion is a movement in urgent need of a scientific language and a sacred cosmology to replace the old patriarchal religions and attitudes which have dominated our minds up to now. In Radical Anthropology, we aim to assist Extinction Rebellion in every way we can, while suggesting that rule by the moon and gender egalitarianism of the kind practiced by hunter-gatherers can powerfully inspire our vision of a future world.
