This month Lindsay and Brandon are joined by Joshua Trey Barnett, assistant professor of Communication Arts and Sciences at the Pennsylvania State University, to discuss his recent book Mourning in the Anthropocene. We talk about extinction, what it means to grieve nature, and even get a little personal with the idea of naming and loss of pets.
