SHUM 4686
Textures of Friendship: Ethics, Politics, Crossings

Course information provided by the 2023-2024 Catalog. Courses of Study 2023-2024 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

We all have friends and value the company of others, but what does it mean to be in a friendship? Against the backdrop of our contemporary moment characterized by borders, oppression, and injustice, this course explores political imaginations and potentialities of friendship practices across borders (ethnic, religious, national, even species) as well as the forms of risks that they articulate. The disciplinary diversity of readings in this course aims at preparing students for completing a short-term ethnographic project on friendships on campus.
