What does it mean to live in a ¿pluriverse¿ -- a world made of many intersecting, overlapping, and yet incommensurable worlds? How might we design for a world where more-than-human communities may thrive? This interdisciplinary seminar has two main parts: Part 1 investigates relations and disruptions between industrial/technological infrastructures and multispecies environments. Part 2 calls students to action by exploring creative methods and designs for cultivating a pluriverse of more livable futures. This course is interdisciplinary and immersive. Course materials draw from the fields of Science and Technology Studies (STS), Multispecies Anthropology, Environmental Humanities, and Media/Visual Arts. Through site visits, real-world case studies, and guest speakers, students will experiment with and develop their own site-specific projects. |
