21st Century Foss

[Ahmend Studioz]

Theweekly MA seminars and the three core courses all deserve to be mentioned, but one course stood out to me: Anthropocene and History with CGT member Adam Tooze. This class changed how I think about the world today. We discussed some of the most interesting books on the history of climate change and capitalism and approached this topic from every thinkable angle to understand the predicament of humanity in the 21st century, or in the Anthropocene era as some would call it. It inspired most of my work for other classes and the MA thesis in the second semester. Since then I have actively used the knowledge and perspectives I got from this class many times in my work as a journalist, for example when writing about the environmental movement or climate politics. I expect that my newfound interest in this field will help guide me where to go in my work life.
