ENVST-393 Multispecies Kinship
We will explore what it means to build kin with a place, while in a place—specifically, our campus. We start by thinking about and the human impact on our planet and the inherent demand issued by climate change to abandon anthropocentrism and fundamentally alter human relationships with our environments, places, and the species therein. Then we consider multispecies kinship systems and how to build meaningful relationships with place. Our goal? To fully understand, and attempt to inhabit, interconnectivity and reciprocity. Based in the Environmental Humanities and American Indian Studies, we embark on projects build relationships with our campus, working to build connections and new understandings of how to relate to, and live intermeshed within, place.
