This means in practice and in theory (in <u>praxis</u>) that we will always make an effort to ground our discussion in our shared experiences. By the end of the course, you should be able to:\n\n# '''Identify key approaches''' in the study of the common(s);\n# '''Describe and apply key concepts and methodological approaches''' from the literature on the common(s);\n# '''Examine socioeconomic, technical, political, and environmental aspects''' of the common(s) for your own research project.\n\nOur seminar is organized in weekly modules with readings and extra materials (podcasts, documentaries, and web resources). For each week, we will have one or more presenters assigned to conduct the debate. Each presenter or group of presenters will prepare ''pros, cons, and questions'' about the assigned materials and facilitate the class debate. The main goal is to make the course work for you, not the other way around. As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan once wrote (''pace'' Buckminster Fuller), \"there are no passengers on spaceship earth, we are all crew.\" The same applies to our seminar: everyone is expected to participate in the debate of our weekly topics.\n\nYou will find everything we need for this course in this wiki page: there is no need to purchase books or supplementary materials.\n\n== Assignments ==\n\nFinal grades will be determined based on the following assignments:\n\n* '''Attendance and participation (20%):''' each seminar participant will bring questions about the readings for debate in class;\n* '''In-class presentations (20%):''' every week an assigned presenter will discuss ''pros, cons, and questions'' based on our weekly readings;\n* '''Midterm assignment (30%):''' you will identify and describe a controversy regarding a common(s) in your area of professional or research interest. You will use the references we discussed in class to prepare your midterm assignment. This description can be short: about 8 pages double-spaced, serif font, 12pt. Make sure to describe the controversy and its importance to the study of the common(s);\n* '''Final assignment (30%):''' you will prepare a final essay that uses three or more concepts we examined in class to analyze the controversy you described in your midterm assignment. The goal is to help you start preparing a literature review or a piece of analysis that will serve your MA or PhD project.\n\nThe scale the instructor will use to assign the final grade is the following:\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n|\n! minus\n! unsigned\n! plus\n|-\n! A\n| 90 - 93\n| 94 - 100\n| <nowiki>-</nowiki>\n|-\n! B\n| 80 - 83\n| 84 - 86\n| 87 - 89\n|-\n! C\n| 70 - 73\n| 74 - 76\n| 77 - 79\n|-\n! D\n| <nowiki>-</nowiki>\n| 65 - 69\n| <nowiki>-</nowiki>\n|-\n! F\n| -\n| 0 - 64\n| <nowiki>-</nowiki>\n|}\n\n== Academic Integrity ==\n\nKnowledges can be conceived as candle flames: if we pass them on to each other, we do not extinguish but multiply them. That being said, what we call “Academic Integrity” encompasses not only our commitment to the exchange and debate of ideas but also the importance of acknowledging the work of those who came before us. Another way of thinking and practicing “Academic Integrity” is to use the metaphor of the community well: as researchers, we are constantly drawing from common sources of knowledge side-by-side with our peers. We do not want the well to dry out or to be poisoned as we need it for our nourishment. We also do not want to create walls which prevent researchers and students from other places and institutions from exchanging. You should feel completely free to use the well as you please, but never forget that it is a shared resource. If you take anything, you must, at some point in your trajectory, return something in one form or another. If you were offered any product of academic effort, you must, at least, attribute the work, citing your source accordingly.\n\n'''Here is a [https://www.americananthro.org/StayInformed/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=2044 guide on how to format your citations]. Here is the [https://honorcode.nd.edu/ Honor Code of Notre Dame].'''\n\n'''Note on Generative AI (in particular, LLMs):''' Your studies and loves computing, but he finds GenAI tools to be particularly problematic when it comes to the process of learning (not to mention all the other technical, social, and environmental issues involved in the large-scale deployment of commercial AI). For this reason, LLMs and other GenAI tools and services (like Deepl and Grammarly) are not allowed in this course.\n\n== Accommodations ==\n\nProper support and accommodation is not only a policy of the university, but a responsibility of the instructor and, to a great extent, of all of us in creating a positive and welcoming environment. Please communicate with the instructor if you have questions about disability services or if you would like to request accommodation for your needs. If you have or think you may have a disability do not hesitate to contact the Disability Services for a confidential discussion in the Sara Bea Center for Students with Disabilities; or, by phone at (574) 631-7157. [https://sarabeadisabilityservices.nd.edu Additional information about disability services and the process for requesting accommodations can be found here]. The instruction will be available and ready to make all the necessary accommodations.\n\nRegarding COVID-19: we must take all the necessary precautions to prevent its spread. In our class, we will observe first the orientation of the provost office and, second, the guidelines of the Department of Anthropology. If you feel ill, please contact the university first and, then, the instructor. Please stop coming to class as soon as you start experiencing symptoms. Any justified absence will not impact your grade. You have to take care of yourself first, which is also, in this case, the best way to take care of others. Think of the common when making the judgementǃ\n\n== Modules ==\n\n=== Week 0: Introduction ===\n\n'''<u>January 16</u>'''\n\n* ''Presentation of the seminar program; introductions; brief presentation of ongoing research projects on the commons; discussion of class projects and potential collaborative work with guest presenters.
