The Problem of (Micro)plastics

Join Queen’s University’s Myra J. Hird as she tackles the complicated issue of plastic waste, a problem that presses us to confront the environmental, political, economic, symbolic and cultural dimensions of contemporary global society. Hird’s work addresses the health and environmental problems that (micro)plastics create, and how we might mitigate the profound waste legacy that will endure for an unknown number of future generations.
