Main content
Trial lecture
Aase J. Kvanneid will give a trial lecture for the PhD-degree on the assigned topic:
"Please provide a summary of global trends in campaigns dedicated to generate climate change ‘awareness’, and briefly discuss these processes as discourse, from a comparative view and from general anthropological theory. Building on this, develop and describe your own analytically informed proposal for an alternative climate change awareness campaign in Rani Majri; one that further builds on an idea of 'resonance'."
