Now that climate change has become a matter of life and death for the species, [Robinson argues] it’s time for scientists to abandon their scrupulous neutrality and enter into the messy arena of politics.

Tim Kreider, The New Yorker

At Hertford College we’ve committed to being a pioneer of sustainability and opportunity, applying academic excellence to the practical challenges of the future. Join us for this interactive and lively evening, in which academics and thinkers from Oxford and beyond will join Kim Stanley Robinson to tackle some of the challenges presented in ‘The Ministry for the Future’, his most recent climate fiction novel.

How can universities be part of the solution to the climate crisis? Kim Stanley Robinson and our guests will take a deep dive to explore the key themes and solutions, including literature, technology, geoscience, politics and economics. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from leading thinkers and “one of the greatest living science-fiction writers” at this one-of-a-kind event.
