De Vrijstaat | Lecture Lisa Doeland

Apocalypsofie | Lecture by Lisa Doeland at Witte Rook

On Friday 26 September at 3 p.m., philosopher Lisa Doeland will give a lecture during the exhibition De Vrijstaat – land van 49m²

For her PhD, Lisa Doeland researched how we deal with waste; what does our handling of the mess we leave behind teach us about ourselves? While the climate crisis is in full swing, we appease our conscience with the idea that everything can be circular and our waste a valuable raw material. But no matter how you look at it, waste always ends up somewhere. She turned her thesis into the book ‘Apocalypsofie: over recycling, groene groei en andere gevaarlijke fantasieën’ (Apocalypsofie: on recycling, green growth and other dangerous fantasies) (2024).

Lisa Doeland works at Radboud University Nijmegen and the University of Amsterdam, among others. She regularly gives lectures and writes columns for NRC, among other publications.
