Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course pursues two aims. First, it will provide an overview over developments in environmental anthropology since the 1970s (from cultural ecology to political ecology to multispecies ethnography). Second, it will address specific concerns of the Anthropocene, including climate change, biodiversity, environmentalism, etc. The course will have seminar character, meaning that student input and feedback will be central.
Assessment and permitted materials
A mandatory seminar paper will count for 50% (which equal 50 points) of the grade. The rest of the grade will be determined by short oral presentations and written handouts, as well as by course participation.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
In order to receive a passing grade, you need at least 60 points. A 'sehr gut' requires at least 90 out of 100 points (a 'gut' at least 80 points, etc.). Attendance is required throughout the semester.
Examination topics
There will be no exams.
Reading list
Will be announced later.
