Anthropocene Campus
Haus der Kulturen der Welt - HKW, Berlin
In collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and renowned international partners, the meseum has developed an that explores a new interdisciplinary culture of knowledge and education.
Thirty international scholars from the natural, environmental, and social sciences, as well as the humanities, art, and architecture have been exchanging ideas since autumn 2013 around new content, access, and methods that would do justice to the challenges posed by the Anthropocene. In collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and renowned international partners, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt has developed an ANTHROPOCENE CURRICULUM that explores, in an experimental and exemplary manner, pathways towards a new interdisciplinary culture of knowledge and education. What should a body of "earthbound knowledge" contain, what forms of transmission are appropriate?
The anthropocene curriculum is an ongoing negotiation across disciplinary lines, taking place as a multistage, online-based process of active knowledge production. The curriculum will be tested in the form of an exemplary model course at HKW from Nov 14 - 22, 2014, open to a group of 100 postgraduates who will be selected via an international call for applications. This temporary ANTHROPOCENE CAMPUS will be accompanied by a program of talks and discussions in which the participating lecturers will provide insights into the development of the curriculum. Seminar materials, video and audio recordings of lectures and classes, as well as a coursebook will be made accessible online.
