Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1508 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: Sustainability Lab: Approaches to Environmental Making: This course asks how experimentation in the arts and sciences might inform the type of work that environmental humanists do. We will investigate this through a semester-long engagement with histories of and experiments in environmental sustainability. Rooted in environmental DIY culture, black-feminist and indigenous approaches to environmental justice and restoration, as well as queer-crip environmental practices, this course will combine hands-on building with traditional seminar discussion. Basic comfort with learning how to use (or observe the use of) power tools is required. We will work with the Haverford Maker Arts Space and the Bryn Mawr Makerspace in conducting and pursuing our lab work. Lab work may include restoration ecology and perennial agriculture planning, papermaking and bookbinding, DIY solar panels, as well as tech-free terrain and sky navigation.
