We’re joined by Dipesh Chakrabarty, Professor of History and author of 'The Climate of History in a Planetary Age', for a conversation on his intellectual trajectory and the idea of the planetary. Speaking on the climate crisis and the human condition, Dipesh states that “unless we realise our geological agency and the geomorphological role we play that is changing the landscape of the planet, we won’t realise the depth of the predicament that we’re in.”
