    Should we question the contexts in which knowledge is produced, and how they shape its form and value? On Curricula, the inaugural Anthropocene Curriculum Course, invites readers to ponder what it means to develop a curriculum in or for the Anthropocene. The first pathway, composed by the AC team, surveys the key elements that might forge new and experimental curricula, as well as other digital initiatives that reinvent and inspire practices of navigating the conditions of our current epoch. Artist-researcher Jamie Allen considers the new forms of “planetary intimacy” that emerge as notions of distance and proximity are transformed. Traveling the braided channels of the Mississippi River, political scientist and environmental educator Joe Underhill proposes that we must translate the often unnecessarily complicated jargon of Anthropocene discourse in order to better engage with marginalized and socially divided communities. And as an act of resistance, and to create space for resolutions in these unprecedented times, artist-archivist Ego Ahaiwe Sowinski evokes practices of rest and slowness amid the “Anthropocene hurry.”
