CARTA public symposia typically begin by emphasizing that the primary goal of Anthropogeny is to explore and understand where we humans came from, and how we got here. Consequently, we usually limit discussion of current-day implications, and the question of where we are going as a species. This time we will focus on the long and short-term impact of humans on the planet that we inhabit, and the consequences for the future of our species. This also gives us the opportunity to celebrate the memory of the late Paul Crutzen, who coined the term “Anthropocene”. Date | Saturday, March 5, 2022 at 10am Location | Virtual link Register here! It is relevant to ask how a single species evolved the capacity to completely alter the surface of an entire planet and dominate its governing environmental and ecological processes. This symposium will bring together experts regarding human impact on the planet and also address the current and future implications for our species. Presented by The Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (CARTA), an UC San Diego ORU.

In this hilarious, raucous, all-female "power-play,” contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator's aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. This madcap romp tackles modern American political extremism, feminism, James Madison, Shakespeare, and beauty queens, The three slightly insane women at its core just might be political geniuses. Here's lookin' at you, America. Dates | Friday, April 15 - Saturday, May 1 Location | Scripps Ranch Theatre Purchase tickets here! Initially inspired by Shakespeare’s The Taming of The Shrew, "THE TAMING" grew out of Gunderson’s desire to wrestle with potent elements inside the Bard’s playful and problematic battle of the sexes. Inside the heightened, cheerfully absurd world of "THE TAMING" the play spanks America’s insidious, sound bite politics with the switch of actual history and proves Shakespeare’s point that true debate is hot. "THE TAMING" is the third in Lauren Gunderson’s The Shakespeare Cycle and takes the sass, sex, and banter from Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and tags in modern American politics. Directed by Marti Gobel, the cast includes talented San Diego performers Katee Drysdale, Sutheshna Mani and Kylie Young.
