Interdisciplinary course around Mount Etna (Eastern Sicily)
Pierre Briole (briole@ens.fr), Anca Dan (anca-cristina.dan@ens.fr)
Semester 2, 3 ECTS
As a literature student, do you wonder about the origins of volcanic activity? As a scientist, do you want to know why humans have always been attracted by the mouths of Hell?
The ten days you will spend on the slopes of Mount Etna, accompanied by geoscientists, environmental scientists, archaeologists, historians, will expose you to the research in the field and to interdisciplinarity.
The course is organised with the Scuola Superiore di Catania in the framework of the partnership established in May 2022 between the ENS and the SSC. It will bring together ENS students and SSC students.
The course will be preceded by a series of introductory seminars during S2. The cost of the trip is covered in part by the ENS and in part by the student. The students will be accommodated in the SSC which also has a restaurant facility.
The course has a capacity of 10 participants. A one-page letter of motivation, together with a short CV, should be sent to the organisers.
