Advanced Theories in Posthumanist Anthropology

3 credits

This graduate-level reading course will focus on key theoretical readings in the area of non-anthropocentric human and social sciences, redefining the social as a collective of humans and non-humans, and including animals, plants, and other subjects. The class will include foundational texts ranging from science studies to feminist theory to philosophy as well as anthropology. The student will learn to synthesize key theoretical concepts and apply these concepts to empirical examples.
