BC3789: Viral Knowledge, Vital Methods | G. Jae

Anthropology
Undergraduate Seminar
Th 12:10PM-2PM

Beginning from a material and metaphorical construction of the viral, we consider the circulation of pandemics and of knowledge as multi-scalar events of world-making (and breaking). This seminar applies the slow(er) methods of ethnographic research as vital to an apprehension of complex ecologies. This course engages with how social theory “gets done” by means of collaborative research strategies to appreciate social processes as they are at once locally experienced, historically contingent, and globally shared.
