The course is part of the Interdisciplinary activities [C] for the Master’s Degree in Environmental Humanities (EH).
The final goal is to enable students to engage autonomously with a broad range of methodological perspectives and activist practices related to the environment in an interdisciplinary and comparative manner.
Advanced reading, speaking and writing knowledge of English. Basic understading of Italian.
This interdisciplinary methodology-oriented seminar provides EH students with three interlinked types of activity:
Part I - individual methodological lessons taught by EH faculty on their respective disciplines and their interdisciplinary potential and challenges; the series is completed by a final seminar where all speakers debate and compare their respective disciplines and methodologies, focusing on analogies, differences and existing and potential intersections;
Part II - sessions devoted to academic writing, providing skills and tools to write course papers, research papers and the final thesis.
Part III - meetings with non-academic professionals, activists, artists, journalists who work on environmental issues and campaigning.
The mandatory weekly readings will be communicated on the Moodle page. Students will be responsible for reading the assigned materials before each class.
Final written paper on a topic to be approved by instructors.
The three instructors will divide the classes with EH colleagues and guest speakers for interactive lectures and round tables.
