This series of creative workshops explores environment, climate crisis, and more-than-human/human interdependence by composing multimodal texts in response to recent Copenhagen University and international research. A background in natural sciences is not required but the course necessitates a curiosity and willingness to experiment creatively with the environmental knowledge gained thanks to independent study, classroom exchanges, field trips, and guests (scientists, activists, and artists). These creative collaborations rethink such concepts as "nature," "sustainability," and "care" by reading, listening to, and watching a variety of academic, literary, and artistic texts. The course combine science, emotion, and creative expression not only to describe environmental loss, grief, and vulnerability but also to celebrate the Earth and diversity. It encourages appreciation of the complexity of ecological processes and interactions through an individual project that investigates an environmental subject and experiments with diverse forms of communicating it to varied audiences. The course produces research-based, hybrid, multimodal works-in-progress (which may develop beyond the course) which become forms of green thinking, slow art, activism and stewardship.

This course provides an overview of the military conflicts that began with the Nazi invasion of Poland in September 1939 and ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender in May 1945. But it is not a military history course in the narrow sense. It instead focuses on the European population’s experience of the war and its legacies for post-war European societies. The course looks closely at the Nazi policies that played a decisive role in shaping both the unfolding of the military conflict and the fate of civilian populations that came under extended periods of German rule, as well as the visions of the Western Allies and the Soviet Union that jointly shaped the post-war order.
