Theme : A More Than Human World

This course will challenge students to rethink traditional notions of learning and knowing by exploring interdisciplinary perspectives and moving beyond human-centered paradigms. Beginning with a critical examination of traditional disciplinary epistemologies, we will gradually broaden our horizons to encompass interdisciplinary insights, embodied modes of understanding and diverse cross-cultural epistemologies. Our exploration will then turn to examining the consciousness of non-human beings. Through this progressively broadened perspective, students will become aware of interconnectedness as a cornerstone of knowledge, learning and teaching.

Teaching mode: in person
