Demons to think with - a new kind of university course  
A new course at SBU, promises to be unique in appealing to science and humanities students alike. As featured in Physics World.

Prof. Ed Casey has just published Turning Emotion Inside Out:  Affective Life  beyond the Subject . He argues that many emotions do not stem from human subjectivity, as is too often assumed. They also derive from elsewhere: from human/animal relations as well as whole environments and atmospheres.

Professor Landon Frim (SBU 2012) and Dr. Harrison Fluss (SBU 2016) just published the monograph  Prometheus and Gaia. Technology, Ecology and Anti-Humanism with Anthem Press (February 2022).
