GEOG 327 - The Politics of Sensing

This course contends that proliferating environmental sensors (e.g., camera traps; smartphones) and scientific retheorizations of the human/animal senses (sight, hearing, touch) are together refiguring human-environment relations - with consequence to core disciplinary debates. It operates as a survey course, pursuing work that deliberates on the roles that sensors and “the senses” are playing in contemporary environment-making: from animal studies, political ecology, and political geography to black geographies and media studies. In pursuing an analytical ‘cut’ across these seemingly disparate areas - “the politics of sensing” aims to equip students with new tools for pursuing cross-disciplinary synergies and establishing points of engagement within an ever-widening geographical project.
