Today, millions of zoological specimens acquired during the nineteenth-century collecting boom languish in natural history museums throughout the world. Many are in an advanced state of decay and represent extinct or at-risk specimens, with their value as measures of climate and habitat change atrophying. Decolonisation adds a further urgency to understanding their story. These specimens thus lack the provenance data to give them greater meaning and significance – where and by whom were they collected, traded, and transported – how did they end up in the museums’ collections?

Our conference aims at investigating the potential of inter/trans/multidisciplinary alliances in research on the Anthropocene and the importance of such disciplinary border-crossings for producing knowledge that can not only meet the challenges of the scientific kind, but also be transferrable to the social sphere. The Anthropocene defies the cognitive, imaginative, affective and ethical systems underlying our perception and understanding of reality. We propose to see the knowledge on/of the Anthropocene as a borderland where many turning points (crises) meet and coalesce.
