On Monday, March 18, Mihnea Tănăsescu (Université de Mons) will participate in the 75th session of the Permanent Seminar Jesús González Amuchastegui with the presentation 'Ecocene Politics'. Commentators for the session will include Rafael Vázquez (University of Granada), Carmen Pérez (UC3M), and Digno Montalván (UC3M).

Mihnea Tănăsescu holds a Ph.D. in political science from Vrije University, Brussels. His main interests include environmental ethics, political representation of non-humans, restoration ethics, rewilding and environmental policy. Based on the diverse ecological practices of communities in southern Italy and Aotearoa/New Zealand, in his most recent book, Ecocene Politics, Tănăsescu elaborates a unique theoretical response to the shortcomings of global politics in the Ecocene, a new temporal epoch characterized by the increasingly frequent intrusion of ecological processes into political life.
