About the Symposium
Weather in 19th-century Literature and Art in the Age of the Anthropocene concerns the question of evidence of weather-related changes due to anthropogenic emissions induced, in part, by industrial capitalism. While humanity has been considered to be largely responsible for weather-related changes regarding shifts in wind current patterns, varying levels of precipitation, and drought-like conditions induced by an increase in anthropogenic emissions, leading Paul Crutzen to declare a new geologic epoch in Cuernavaca, Mexico (2000) during a gathering of atmospheric chemists, the conditions continued to be exacerbated by the close of the 19th-century.

Education is an ideal means of empowerment, for it enables students to take ownership of the historical and personal archives that stand for their communities.
