Dr Dominic O’Key (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science, University of Leeds)'Thinking Through Extinction' is an AHRC-funded research project, based at Leeds, in partnership with Corridor8 and Manchester Museum. The project explores how the current global mass extinction event is communicated by and encountered in public spaces.
