Program description: Many scholars now say we have reached the end of the modern age and are moving into an epochal shift. Across the sciences and social sciences, exciting new research is emerging that surprisingly connects to some ancient knowledge. Together, this points away from the most problematic ideas of the modern age and its climate and biodiversity crises and points toward “new stories” that offer small seeds of hope for humanity and hint at practices for more life-giving ways of being.
