Spaceship Earth: from the Environmental Age to the Anthropocene with Sabine Höhler, pt. 1

Integrating ideas from ecology, economics and architecture, the evocative concept of Spaceship Earth emerged in the midst of the space race and environmental awakening of the 1960s, and influenced popular culture in the form of e.g. science fiction. Leading Science & Technology Studies scholar Sabine Höhler, associate professor at KTH and author of “Spaceship Earth in the Environmental Age, 1960-1990”, joins the SPHERE podcast to explain the origins of Spaceship Earth and how it has gained renewed relevance through concepts such as the Anthropocene, Planetary Boundaries and Earth System Science.
