In this seminar, we will investigate the relationship between body and environment in its many manifestations. Through engagement with key concepts in environmental and medical anthropology and social studies of science, we will ask: what is the relationship between environmental injustice and health inequity? How are relationships of power - such as colonialism, racism, and war - also environmental projects? And how do we study altered environments and ill or injured bodies in just ways? This course prepares students to critically engage questions of environmental and human health, with a particular focus on scholarship from beyond the United States.

ANTHRO 167W: Affective/Apocalyptic Urbanisms: Cities and Global Crises (ANTHRO 267W)
How might attunement to the affective and political dimensions of urban 'apocalypse' inspire a just response to our threatened urban contemporary? This course is an exploration of urban life and urban management in the context of global environmental change; financial, social and political exclusion; and rapid technological development. We begin with the discursive construction of three cities - Cape Town, London, and San Francisco - to consider how cities are worlded beyond the build environment. Through a verity of global case studies, students will design responses to urban apocalypse to imagine more just and sustainable urban futures in and beyond the context of global crises.
