The module focuses on how anthropologists communicate their ideas and on discussions about public anthropology. It combines a reading class on different explorations on questions regarding socioecological issues, affect, and futurity. It goes together with active participation in the Lecture Series “Extractivism, Conflicts, and Desired Futures”. Each seminar session will start with a discussion about the last lecture to digest and discuss our learnings. Furthermore, we will prepare for the next lecture by reading the guest lecturers’ and/or related texts before joining their presentation, to then engage in informed discussions with them.
