Participation in River School Open Seminar

danica

I would like to utilize the Open Seminar conference calls as an analytical space in which sharing data across spaces can help us see our own fieldsites in better relief. Additionally, I am looking forward to learning from participants with other expertise and/or who are trained to look for/attend to facets of quotidian anthropocenes that may currently fall within my own blindspots.

I would also like to think creatively with other participants to what kinds of action and output we can have moving forward in terms of characterizing the anthropocene and engaging with actors in different spaces, including New Orleans.

Additionally (see my comments on suggestions for future field campuses), perhaps the Open Seminar can be a space to think explicitly about pedagogy--for ourselves, i.e. via collaborative design of shared analytic approaches at future field schools, as well as for thinking about how to educate others, within academic institutions (e.g. undergrads) and beyond.
