 text=%7B%22event_ac...\n\nDr. Jessica McLean will discuss the changing dig
 ital geographies of the Anthropocene. She shows how technologies are provi
 ding new opportunities for communication and connection\, while simultaneo
 usly deepening existing problems associated with isolation\, global inequi
 ty\, and environmental harm. By offering a reading of digital technologies
  as 'more-than-real'\, the author argues that the productive and destructi
 ve possibilities of digital geographies are changing important aspects of 
 human and non-human worlds. Like the more-than-human notion and how it emp
 hasises interconnections of humans and non-humans in the world\, the more-
 than-real inverts the diminishing that accompanies use of the terms 'virtu
 al' and 'immaterial' as applied to digital spaces.\n\nJess McLean does res
 earch on how humans\, more-than-humans\, environments and technologies int
 eract to produce geographies of change. Her research focuses on digital te
 chnologies\, feminist geographies\, water politics\, climate action and ac
 tivism. She is a Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University where she current
 ly teaches Anthropocene politics\, planning placements\, and Indigenous ge
 ographies. Her book Changing Digital Geographies: Technologies\, Environme
 nts and People was published in 2020 and she is co-Editor-in-Chief of the 
 Digital Geography and Society journal.\n\nThis event is part of the 2nd Se
