The Anthropocene River School integrates the work of the Anthropocene River Field Stations and transforms the research into an ongoing, collaborative teaching enterprise. It introduces opportunities for meaningful participation (teaching and learning) to people around the world. The River School facilitates both online Open Seminars and two Field Campuses.

Open Seminars

The Open Seminars are free, online courses exploring particular themes to facilitate collaboration and education through a curriculum developing in real time over the course of the entire project. Participants may work asynchronously, but real-time lectures and discussions will be facilitated regularly. A podcast platform allows seminar participants to easily access lectures and related content.

Field Campuses

For the Field Campuses, the organizers work closely with local partners to make them for the most part experiential while at the same time striking new ground and staging novel types of interventions appropriate to the place and the partners. The Field Campuses draw a broad range of participants, focusing on local audiences, and culminate in the creation of papers, multimedia materials, and other works.
