Discourse on the Anthropocene engages scientific thought, religious studies, and philosophy to think about humanity’s impact upon the earth at the geological stage.

This course will analyze the Anthropocene from Indigenous perspectives. First we will examine how the Anthropocene is understood from Western theological, philosophical, and scientific understandings. Next we will engage and enrage the Anthropocene from an Indigenous perspective drawing up on Indigenous scholarship and critique of the Anthropocene.

The course will also bring forth many perspectives from within Turtle Island itself. While we have overlaps under the frameworks constructed around "Indigenous," we have profound differences as well between regions and different geographic perspectives based on our home territories or lands.
