Information from your teacher
Welcome to the course Design and the Posthumanist Perspective!
We are very much looking forward to start the third iteration of this freestanding course together with you!
There will be twelve 3 hours sessions this spring. The first one on Monday January 18th, 6-9 pm Gothenburg time, followed by 19/1, 2/2, 16/2, 2/3, 16/3, 30/3, 13/4, 27/4, 11/5, 31/5 & 1/6. In-between these dates you will work independently developing your project in combination with reading course literature that hopefully will feed and charge your work in surprising ways.
Due to Covid19 it's difficult to plan how we will meet. It will probably end up in a combination of physical meetings and Zoom-seminars.
The introduction evening will be on Zoom, and the link will be posted on Canvas close to the start date.
We will also combine Zoom with the great tool Miro - a whiteboard to work on/with collectively. Please get a Miro account before course start: https://miro.com/education-whiteboard/ It's free and easy to get and use!
If you have any questions about the course, feel free to contact me in advance (thomas.laurien@hdk.gu.se).
Regarding the course literature - we will go through it step by step. You don't need to panic buying books etc. The sources are either pdf's that you will get from us or other net based resources.
Best
Thomas Laurien & Pontus Johansson
