NOVASEN Team Lead Teaches The Anthropology of Freedom at the ISE

NOVASEN's elected team lead, Eleanor Finley, PhD, is teaching the summer-long course "The Anthropology of Freedom" at the Institute for Social Ecology starting July 8 and there is still time to register and apply for a scholarship for those who need financial assistance to participate. The 8-week discussion-based seminar will enable students to look at the close relationship between social ecology and anthropology and will be book-ended by two key texts: Murray Bookchin’s The Ecology of Freedom (1982) and David Graeber and David Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything (2021). There will also be discussion about the contributions and challenges to social ecology from a non-Western standpoint.

The course will meet on Wednesdays at 6 PM Eastern Time and the link to the virtual call will be sent upon registration. Students can expect a learning experience that is rigorous and intellectually challenging, while still warm and convivial. There are about 20 participants registered and room for more. Please join!
