JS 306 - Don’t Throw It All Away

How do conceptualize and interpret waste? From waste water to household waste to industrial and toxic waste, getting rid of stuff is part and parcel of organized society. This seminar conceptualizes the status of waste - from sewage
and water treatment, to landfills, to recycling, to incineration - we will look at waste from cradle to grave and explore the new field of Discard Studies. The content will involve complex intersections of politics, economics, and
environmental topics through case studies and placebased exploration.
