Charlotte Kerner: We are Volcanoes Die Geschichte dreier ­Öko-­Visionärinnen

In the organizer's words:

he writer Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964), the researcher Lynn Margulis (1938 - 2011) and the philosopher Donna Haraway (born 1944) form an ecological triumfeminate. These eco-visionaries described how closely interwoven human and more-than-human life on Earth is and were quick to rethink nature and culture. Against much resistance, the three biologists crossed disciplinary boundaries, created new links between scientific research, philosophy, sociology and evolutionary theory and raised questions that are more important today than ever when it comes to survival in the future. In We Are Volcanoes (2024), Charlotte Kerner tells the story of the life and work of these three impressive women.

Charlotte Kerner, born in Speyer, worked as a science journalist for ZEIT, Geo and Emma, among others. She has made a name for herself as an author with biographies of female scientists and her international bestseller Blueprint (2008). She has been awarded the German Youth Literature Prize and the GEDOK Schleswig-Holstein Literature Prize.
