About the Author
Kathryn Yusoff is a distinguished geographer and scholar whose work critically interrogates the intersections of race, geology, and environmental history in the Anthropocene era. Drawing from her expertise in cultural geography and postcolonial theory, Yusoff challenges dominant narratives of planetary change, emphasizing the racialized underpinnings of geological time and human impact on Earth. Her innovative approach reframes the Anthropocene not as a universal epoch but as a concept entangled with colonial legacies and black ecologies, urging a reevaluation of who counts in the story of our world. With a background in academia, including her role at Queen Mary University of London, Yusoff's scholarship bridges philosophy, science, and activism, inspiring readers to confront the exclusions baked into our environmental discourses. Her provocative ideas continue to influence debates in critical theory and earth sciences, advocating for a more equitable planetary future.
