A special focus will be on the theories and challenges of multi-species ethnography as a mode of research, on experiential mappings of relationships across species, and on imagined futures in the Anthropocene. Drawing on key themes in human-animal studies, we will examine topics such as notions of multi-species justice, shared environments, practices of extraction/extinction/de-extinction, art about and by animals, the scientific/cultural dimensions of “One Health,” and social media storytelling. Readings and guest speakers will be drawn from across the humanities/social sciences/arts/law/and biological sciences. Open to graduate and professional students from across the university. Limit of 15. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
