Apocalypse: anthropologies of fear, hope, and survival
(undergraduate)
UTM: Winter 2025
Is this the end of the world? In a culture overwhelmed with fantastical stories of apocalypse, how are we to actually prepare for catastrophe? This course asks us to consider social and political life at the end of the world, to interrogate visions of an apocalyptic future, and to re-orient ourselves toward forms of collective survival.
Anthropologies of Water
(undergraduate)
UTM: Winter 2025
This class delves into the topic of water from an anthropological perspective by thinking of water not only as resource but also as meaningful substance, symbol, and mediator of human and non-human relations. Class will consist mainly of discussions of ethnographic readings but also of hands-on class exercises, field-trips, and auto-ethnographic work.
