Perspectives on Inquiry   UN1001 Michigan Technological University   Class Description   Fall 2006 - Section R15 Title:   Can We Read the Cultural Landscape? We are surrounded by the ordinary landscapes of everyday life. Examples include homes, classrooms, streets, farms, historical monuments, or satellite dishes. "Cultural Landscape" refers to the interaction of people and place: humans and the social spaces they shape and from which we derive a shared cultural identity. Can we learn to read the landscape as a means of understanding how Americans shape ordinary landscapes and experience the ordinary (not always the same thing)? As students of cultural landscapes we will explore these questions through readings, fieldwork and site visits, visual display, oral presentations, and essay and report writing.
