Sensing Politics

Aniruddhan Vasudevan

Back to "Spring 2025" courses

What roles do feelings and emotions play in our evaluations of the world? Are our emotions reliable sources of moral intuition? Can we take our feelings to be our own? This course focuses on how humans engage with issues of morality, faith, justice, collective wellbeing, and political critique, and how our feelings, emotions, and sensations mediate such engagements. Through ethnographic and theoretical readings, we will learn how anthropologists discern the affective textures of our moral and political lives.
