| Summary |
Extinction Studies asks what extinction means to diverse global communities. Essays focus on the entangled ecological and social dimensions of extinction, exploring the ways in which this event catastrophically interrupts life's gifts of time, death, and generations, opening up important philosophical questions about our place in, and obligations to, a more-than-human world. |
