Teaching Workshop: Environmentalism and Anti-Environmentalism in the Middle Ages

The students, under the guidance of the lecturer, will have to rework the readings and the central questions tackled in class in the form of a podcast episode.

Ability to communicate specialised topics orally in an accessible and effective manner to non-specialists, presenting them in simple and appealing language. Introduction to the main techniques for writing, recording and post-producing a podcast episode.
