Teaching: Digital Anthropocene Syllabus Workshop

This workshop draws together interdisciplinary thinking on the natural and the digital, the environmental and the managerial, the material and the sensor-ial. In 2018’s Data Ecologies of the Anthropocene, James Maguire and Astrid Anderson asked how data and environment making are becoming mutually constitutive. In this follow up, we advance that starting point by asking how a syllabus on The Digital Anthropocene could reflect this co-constitution. Working collaboratively, the outcome of the workshop will be a co-authored, annotated Digital Anthropocene Syllabus, hosted on the ETHOS website and sites of participating institutions. It will be open access, free to download, and cite-able, modifiable to different teaching situations, programs and class sizes.

Teaching: Shut Up & Write - relaunching!

Writing is a craft and one of the key requirements in conveying any research. It is also a vital part of academia and requires creativity but also scientific robustness. ETHOS Lab acknowledges this desk-work as an analytical process that needs to be taken seriously, which is why we have weekly Shut Up & Write sessions. All are welcome, but please register via bit.ly/ethoswrite.

When: Mondays 13:00 - 15:00, with kick-off on Monday 18 February!
Where: ETHOS Lab (3A30)

No matter what you are writing on – please join in the sessions and read more about the advantages with making them part of your study/academic rhythms.
