Catalog Description :
The heart of this course is an annual symposium organized around a well-defined topic with both scientific and policy components — e.g., nuclear waste disposal, global warming. Each year, two or three nationally recognized experts on the selected topic are brought to campus. In the weeks before a visit by one of the major speakers, students, together with environmental studies faculty, read and discuss papers suggested by the speaker. The speakers meet with students in the seminar following their public lecture, providing students with an opportunity to interact directly with scientists and policy makers at the forefront of environmental issues.
Topic for Spring 2016: Exploring Wilderness
What is wilderness? Derived from the Old English wildēornes meaning “land inhabited only by wild animals,” the very concept of wilderness brings up questions about the relationship between humans and nature. This course will consider the history of wilderness and how humans have thought about wild lands over time. We will also explore questions about the spiritual, economic, recreational, and scientific value of wilderness. Course may include a required overnight field trip.
