Abstract
Date time and place of event : Tuesday, April 28, 2015, 7:00 PM, CAPA Symposium.
Speculative, learned, and always
‘lucid and precise’ as the eye of the
vulture that confronted him once on
a cliff ledge, Abram has one of those
rare minds which, like the mind of a
musician or a great mathematician,
fuses dreaminess with smarts.
—The Village Voice. David Abram, cultural ecologist and geophilosopher,
is the author of Becoming Animal: An Earthly
Cosmology and The Spell of the Sensuous:
Perception and Language in a More-than-Human
World. David’s work has helped catalyze the
emergence of several new disciplines, including
ecopsychology. His essays on the cultural causes
and consequences of environmental disarray have
been published widely. Named by both the Utne
Reader and Resurgence as one of a hundred
visionaries currently transforming the world,
David has been a recipient of the international
Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction, fellowships
from the Watson and Rockefeller Foundations,
and in 2014, he held the international Arne Naess
Chair in Global Justice and Ecology at the
University of Oslo. Abram is co-founder of the
Alliance for Wild Ethics.
