Joshua Wodak

Climate Crisis, Anthropocene, Sixt Exctinction Event
Western Sydeny University

Dr Joshua Wodak is a researcher, writer, and artist whose work explores what it means to not only be alive during the current upheaval (climate crisis, Anthropocene, Sixth Extinction Event et. al.), but to be alive to upheaval itself. That is: how to live on an inherently unstable Earth, and in an inherently catastrophic cosmos.

He is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University. His first book is Petrified: Living During a Rupture of Life on Earth, published in the Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies series by Heidelberg University (De Gruyter, 2025).
