Dr. Kathrin Bartha-Mitchell and Clara Hebel (M.A.) are running an Environmental Humanities slow reading group on Astrida Neimanis' Bodies of Water: Posthuman Feminist Phenomenology this summer term.

What it is

The format of this group follows the principles of slow, emergent, and collective scholarship. We want to try out a new format: We will (silently) read a section of the text while we are gathered in one room, and then discuss it together.

How to join

This means that no prior preparation is necessary, nor is a registration; if you're interested just come along! Neimanis' text is available for free online.
