Building critical vocabulary through readings of Donna Haraway, Katherine Hayles, Jane Bennett, Jacques Derrida, Val Plumwood, and Cary Wolfe among others, we will also consider the ways in which creative artifacts contribute to post-humanist theory by considering the works of artists, composers, and writers like john Luther Adams, Karen Joy-Fowler, and Jeff VanderMeer.
