| Title |
Waste Semiotics: Language, Materiality, Space (BA & MA Workshop) |
| Description |
This special course is only open to BA and MA students studying in the Department of English, and on a limited (see cap), competitively selected basis. Students wishing to be considered for a place in the course should email Professor Thurlow with a short (10 lines max) motivation statement by 06 August; final selection and registration will be confirmed by 08 August.
Waste Semiotics offers a transdisciplinary, action-oriented space for students wanting to investigate the powerful connections between everyday language and communication and one of the most pressing ecological and cultural concerns of our time: waste. The course is organized as the UniBe’s first Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) in collaboration with the following ENLIGHT partner universities: Ghent, Groningen, Tartu, and Uppsala. BA and MA students from these universities are already enrolled, as well as from Galway and Bratislava.
The course comprises a series of six online sessions and a five-day intensive programme in Bern, including outings, a methods workshop, and a community-engagement project. Students travelling to Bern will use their journey as a chance to complete a “trash trajectories” fieldwork exercise serving as the basis for our hands-on work together. Bern students will be expected to produce equivalent fieldwork data. For more information, see the ENLIGHT course catalogue: https://enlight-eu.org/students/courses/1272-waste-semiotics. |
