In collaboration with Copenhagen’s Main Public Library, Human Futures invites you to an event where researchers and authors together will investigate questions about the human position in the world in the 21st century. The post-anthropocentric perspective is increasingly important in a world where human beings have a massive influence on all forms of life on earth. The event will discuss this and raise questions about humans, literature, and science. 

The event will include talks and readings by the astrophysicist, professor Anja C. Andersen, the authors Kaspar Colling Nielsen and Peter Adolphsen, and Mads Rosendahl Thomsen, professor of Comparative Literature.
