By considering panic as both urgency and agency, can we begin to see ways of engaging with our catastrophic times? In our current age of anxiety, global politics, environmental devastation, insecurity and instability pervade our daily lives; we are constantly faced with present and imminent environmental and psychological rupture. This panel will discuss multi-disciplinary approaches to panic and crisis in our contemporary world and how symptoms of ‘disorder’ can be seen as an appropriate response to personal traumas and global catastrophe.
