(un)Mapping Just Futures

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

We are constantly shaping and being shaped by our environment, that is layered with built and natural systems. Packed into this are the layers of human interactions with and within these systems. This 1-credit course offered by Ethics Lab faculty seeks to unravel those systems hidden in plain sight. Using exploratory design methods that center responsible play, reflection and curious awareness we will be building interpretative maps of every kind – sensory, participatory, colored with memory, intuition and embodied experiences to identify our roles in transitioning towards just environmental futures. Participants will learn to apply design-led-research methods along with basic drawing/collaging techniques (analog and digital) as a way to responsibly navigate complex environmental systems.
