I am excited to be speaking at this event alongside the amazing Farhana Yamin.

From the event website: “Maritime Lecture Series – Space Ethics and Planetary Care”

Space Ethics and Planetary Care

This talk, the fourth in the series, seeks to address how we can learn to live as a global community within our – and other – planetary means.
