Description
Archiving for the Anthropocene was taught at Goethe University Frankfurt as part of a summer session focused on environmental knowledge infrastructures.
The course examined the data and archival systems needed to understand and respond to environmental change in the Anthropocene. Students explored how environmental right-to-know databases, community archives, museums, and other cultural institutions collect and organize information about environmental harm and environmental governance.
Through readings, case studies, and collaborative research exercises, the course investigated how archives and information infrastructures shape environmental knowledge and public engagement with environmental problems.
