Michael Sheridan

Professor Sheridan is amazing. Very fast talker but friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The class is very climate doomery and depressing in some ways especially in the beginning, but it also has an element of hope and I learned so much that I feel like better equips me for living in the climate crisis.

Professor Sheridan is an amazing teacher and a good person. I took this class not knowing much about anthropology, and walked away enthralled with the material. Sheridan is a radical thinker and exposes you to a wide range of perspectives regarding gender, capitalism, development, race, and climate change. There is a lot of reading for the class, short essays plus a cool and interesting final project. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn how to think about the world system in a nuanced way.

There was a ton of reading in this class and I did not feel completely engaged. Sheridan has a lot of cool context from his own research, but it was sometimes hard to follow and the Canvas page was not super well organized.
