CARESEITE
Caring? Health? What does that mean? And what changes when we think of both in networks that include not only humans but also other species?
The Careseite is the audio-visual and multimodal result of a cultural anthropological research project on multi-species health and care in the Anthropocene. As a group of six Master’s students at the Institute of Anthropology and Empirical Cultural Studies at LMU, we accompanied initiatives, associations, actions and networks in Munich and the surrounding area. The website interweaves five short films with different protagonists in three chapters.
The project has been developed as part of the research focus Audiovisual Anthropology at the Institute for Ethnology at the LMU Munich.

CAS – Research Focus
PLANETARY HEALTH
The increasing consumption of resources, advancing environmental pollution and a dramatic loss of biodiversity pose immense challenges for our society. How do these changes affect the health of humans, animals and nature? What impact do they have on mental health, social justice and food security? And how do these effects influence developments in society as a whole and political decisions? These questions are highly relevant and require inter- and transdisciplinary research in order to find answers and solutions and to support transformative change in societies.
The cross-faculty CAS Research Focus “Planetary Health” will address these questions and reflect on solution models. Collaboration between the various disciplines will enable a holistic and transdisciplinary approach to be taken, allowing a comprehensive view and identifying strategies for transformative change.
