The history and value of human excreta - What can we learn from our ancestors?

The history and value of human excreta - What can we learn from our ancestors?
(Event in English)
Can't imagine life without a flush toilet? Then you should learn about what humans have been doing with their waste for most of history. In this online lecture, author and journalist Lina Zeldovich takes us on a journey through history. It is about the use and waste of human faeces against the backdrop of humanity's sometimes difficult relationship with its excrement.

From the event series "Verspülte Ressourcen - Kritische Blicke ins stille Örtchen "
This event marks the start of the interdisciplinary event series "Verspülte Ressourcen - Kritische Blicke ins stille Örtchen", which takes place online or hybrid on the campus of the University of Kassel (subsequent events are primarily in German). The events are organized by students of the University of Kassel. Questions relating to our sanitary systems will be addressed:

What happens to our excrement after we flush it down the toilet?
What does it take to really close nutrient cycles?
What value is there in human excrement and how can it be harnessed?
What other infrastructures enable waterless and hygienic sanitation?
What is the global sanitation crisis and how can we deal with it?
