Writings in Environmental Anthropology II
Fictional and Non-Fictional Pieces on Environmental Interactions
28.05.2020
The following texts were written by students of the critical thinking seminar "Introduction to Environmental Anthropology". The seminar was primarily based on readings, discussions, short lectures and films. A lively collection of texts was examined that draws on examples of human-environment relations in different parts of the world, which helps understanding pressing contemporary issues. All students had the possibility to write about topics discussed in the course of the seminar, though they were encouraged to try different forms of writing and create fictional pieces that make the topics accessible to a wider audience. A few chosen texts are displayed here.
The seminar was instructed by Prof. Dr. Monica Vasile.
