This course will revolve around one book: Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing's "The Mushroom at the End of the World". By reading this book deeply, instead of articles every week, we will be able to re-think anthropology itself, along with important topics like race, gender, globalization, decolonization, capitalism, (post-)humanism, etc. We will also discuss other trends in anthropological theory today, such as Actor-Network Theory, the Ontological Turn, and Object-Oriented Ontology.

The final paper will be ~6,000 words on an object of your choice, following Tsing's analysis of matsutake mushrooms.
