| Description | Across the inherited colonial disciplines, scholars increasingly
propose that human beings can no longer be studied in isolation
from the myriad nonhuman others who share the planet with us.
Drawing at once on deeply located indigenous knowledges and
changes in global scientific thought, contemporary posthuman
and/or multispecies scholarship demonstrates that 'human' beings
come into existence, develop, and live and die in intimate
relation to other forms of life, now understood as social,
philosophical, and historical actors themselves. In the first six
weeks, we will encounter core texts together (Kavesh, Haraway,
Tsing, Parrenas, Rose, Braverman). In the second half, students
will work on an independent multispecies/posthuman project of
their own. The work will include written reflections and
presentations on our shared readings, and an individualized
annotated bibliography and presentation of independent work.
Prerequisite: a previous 100- or 200-level course featuring a
