GSS · ANARCHIVE — PLANETARY JUSTICE MAP · SYLLABUS SHAPE

Gendered Networks — Half-Semester

Eight weeks with the Planetary Justice Map: one orientation week, three two-week case units, one adversarial week — with the studio folded into each unit as a running verification practice rather than a final block.

WEEK 1

Reading the instrument

Map work: Pathway PW-01 in class; the source-geography lens as the first lecture on archives. Deliverable: “what the map refuses to assert” (150 w).

GRAD: plus the annotation/reading line as epistemology; critique the archive-geography classifier.

WEEKS 2–3

RAWA — clandestinity as infrastructure

Map work: Story Map I; concept node Clandestinity; care lens. Running studio: each student verifies one pending citation from these nodes. Deliverable: 500 w.

GRAD: what clandestine archives can never show; how should an instrument mark structural gaps?

WEEKS 4–5

Claudia Jones — theory before its name

Map work: Story Map II; concept node Superexploitation; Pathway PW-02. Deliverable: the 300-word genealogy. Running studio continues.

GRAD: Jones 1949 vs Crenshaw 1989 seminar; test the map's genealogy entry as historiography.

WEEKS 6–7

Amazonia — land, kin, extraction

Map work: Story Map III; concept node Kawsak Sacha; Pathway PW-03. Deliverable: the motherhood comparison table.

GRAD: the ethics unit — protective imprecision, TK Labels, living figures (METHOD as primary text).

WEEK 8

Against the map

Map work: Pathway PW-04. Final deliverable: the 500-word critique + one node proposal against the METHOD schema, with peer-verified citations.

GRAD: the alternative-ontology proposal replaces the node proposal.

Assessment: orientation piece 10% · unit deliverables 3×20% · critique + proposal 25% · running verification studio 5%. Everything is browser-only; assigned views are stable URLs (COPY VIEW); pathways print to text for low-bandwidth use. Content note as in the 15-week shape (Story Map I).
