Seemingly invisible and transparent, air, wind, and light form airscapes that have been overlooked as a cohesive totality with its own cultural history.

Advanced course in methods: Archives are collections of documents and institutions that preserve them. What have been kept, for what purposes, by whom, and how can they be accessed? And how does asking these questions help students of the present and the past shape new research questions and design more thoughtful and better research projects? This course seeks to enable students to engage with the epistemic problems presented by archives. What is it possible to know and represent through archival sources, and what are the limitations to what can be known?
