Perspectives on Inquiry   UN1001
Michigan Technological University

  Class Description   Fall 2006 - Section R23

Title:   Nature, Landscape, & the Environment

This course will explore the ways society has been shaped by, responded to, and created ideas about beloved spaces. Through a variety of lenses in the sciences, humanities, and fine arts - and a good bit of time outdoors ourselves - we'll seek answers to some of the most persistent questions plaguing our relationship with the natural world. What do we mean when using words like natural or wild - where and by whom can these things be found? What meaning can we discover in a particular cultural response to the natural environment? How have/should/could humans live on Earth? What are the possibilities and limitations of our various visions?
