Originating Calendar: Center for Advanced Study; Professor Juno Salazar Perreñas (Science & Technology Studies, Cornell University) discusses the dynasty of polar bears who lived in Singapore from 1978 to 2018, and how the life histories of these polar bears in a rapidly changing planet might narrate the story of 20th- and 21st-century competing colonialisms in the Great Acceleration. This talk helps launch the new CAS initiative Living in Multi-Species Worlds.
