CONTESTING EXTINCTION: IMAGINING MULTISPECIES FUTURES
Through a multi-disciplinary approach, we will look at how current threats to the planet's biodiversity are inseparable from threats to cultural diversity. Course readings will indulge in, but ultimately resist, the apocalyptic appeal of art that depicts terminal extinction scenarios. Course assignments are oriented toward imagining and generating collective, livable futures in the wake of biodiversity loss associated with the Sixth Mass Extinction. All readings in English.
