Planet politics and the Anthropocene

We live in the Anthropocene, a new geological epoch in which human beings as a

species have become a powerful force that is changing several of the Earth systems:
climate, soil, water, ecosystems and so on. Climate change, biodiversity loss,
desertification, deforestation, water scarcity, excess of waste, environmental toxification
are well-known evidences, that our societies are exceeding or stretching several
planetary boundaries (Röckstrom et al. 2009). Moreover, technological developments in
several areas like Information and Communication ICT (internet of things, drones, AI,
big data), nanotechnology, synthetic biology and so on continuously change our
conditions of existence. The consequences are wide but unequally spread, exacerbating
poverty, injustice, and the ability or inability to deal with them. But, what are the drivers
of these changes historically? Are societies equally responsible? Which are the
responses to them? More specifically, how socio-economic and political processes and
institutions interact to create and to respond to these planetary changes in different
historical and geographical contexts?

In this course, we will grasp the “ ecological and political realities of life on New Earth
Politics” (Nicholson and Jinnah 2016, 1), as well as, their diverse global socio-
economic and cultural implications, mainly through the lenses of International Relations
and global environmental politics, but not exclusively. Moreover, considering that we
live on one planet, but many worlds, we will also look for the “hidden figures” or
processes, issues, institutions and actors that cannot be seen (or heard), because our
“lenses” (episteme, theories and concepts) and research agendas may turn our attention
away from them.

Learning goals

By the end of the course, the student should

- know and be able to discuss the main concepts related to the Anthropocene and
Planet Politics through the lenses of International Relations and the sub-field of
Global Environmental Politics
- be aware of the planetary challenges ahead
The course also aims at fostering reflection about life, scholarship, teaching-learning

Pedagogical perspective and teaching-learning methods

The pedagogical approach is based on active and contemplative learning principles, and
it will mix teacher-centered and student-centered strategies, emphasizing the latter, as
the main goal is to create a learning environment in which each one is the subject of
her/his own learning processes.

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, all activities were adapted to be remote and to promote
virtual interactions among students, and between them and the instructor/facilitator.

Class dynamic (suggested)

8:30 AM - Moment 1: Brief introduction by the instructor – app Teams (assigned

virtual space for the larger group)

2
 - Discussion of the assigned readings led by one PhD student/candidate (handout:
questions and personal reflection) - app Teams (assigned virtual space for the
larger group)
- Brief presentation about the visual case (Master student)

9:30 - Moment 2: Break into smaller groups of 4-5 students - app Teams (assigned
virtual space for the smaller groups)

Small group discussion about the readings – every time there will be one leader and
one rapporteur

11:20 – Moment 3: Return to assigned virtual space for the larger group

Up to 20’- The rapporteurs will summarize their group discussions -any brief
comments by colleagues

Up to 30’- discussions about the group findings and about case posted by the master
students

- Case study (visual politics) – Master students will post one (short) film,
documentary, painting, picture on google classroom, adding a short comment
and a few questions/reactions. The post should be a “case” related to planet
politics and the Anthropocene (brief description of the “case” and explanation of
the choice – to relate with the class topic and add a personal reflection)

- Colleagues will post their comments/reactions, taking into consideration the

previous comments, what means reading and reflecting (active “listening” to
their colleagues) on other colleagues ideas.

Up to 10’ One moment of contemplative practice

Up to 10’ Wrap up of the class session: main takeaways

Readings and assignments were posted on google classroom (fxwadrf) and on MS

Teams

Course requirements/assignments and evaluation

PhD students:
40% - to lead class discussions around questions related to the readings and personal
reflections –
10% - personal journal – reflection on her/his life, politics from person to the planet and
the pandemic crisis – text or image
10% - one post related to the visual case – taking into consideration the instructions
above (reactions to colleagues’ posts)
40% - Final paper

Master students

3
40% - (visual politics case study) – one case and three commentary posts – during
classes the master student will presently shortly the case and the comments by the
colleagues – max 10 minutes

10% - Regular attendance and full participation in seminar discussions (readings), and
other class activities
10% - to create a meme about one of the themes related to planet politics and the
Anthropocene
40 % - Final paper

Participation in class discussions aims at creating an “incentive” to read and reflecting

on the assigned texts as well as providing an opportunity to graduate students to
organize and express their ideas and views.

PhD students should be able to take the lead.

Master students:
The “case” can be any visual event (photo, painting, video, film, documentary that can
be related with the readings and class discussions, the student should bring a short
description and questions for discussion related to the kind of challenges/puzzles posed
by the visual case.

About the final paper –

We will define the format/arrangement by the of August/beginning of September.
Perhaps, we can think of collective “article write-shops”

Bonus:
Personal journal about your learning experience (achievements and challenges),
including life style changes - one page, to be sent by email irelpag@gmail.com - 10%
