ABSTRACT
The Anthropocene is not only a period of manmade disruption. It is also a moment of blinking self-awareness, in which the human species is becoming conscious of itself as a planetary force. Anthropocene psychology is about noticing the many aspects of that human and more-than-human interrelatedness. An Anthropocene psychology is a way of approaching the world that readily extends agency to more-than-human others. It is a sensibility that acknowledges a profound interdependency and interconnection between human and more-than-human worlds. It prizes an ability to respond ethically and politically to the implications of that interrelatedness, and to acknowledge, learn from and engage with Indigenous knowledge in which capacities have a history of articulation. Following D. J. Haraway's practice of ‘staying with the trouble’, it is committed to particularity, to attending deeply to the specific and situated contexts of encounter.
