LAS 206 - Vacation: Summer Family Road Trip

3 Credit Hours
 This seminar will explore the idea of “man in his environment.”  Each week we will pile in the metaphorical mini-van and travel somewhere in the United States, learning about various locations and moments in environmental history.  Potential stops may include Mesa Verde, where we will study the Ancient Indians and how they interacted with the environment; the Grand Canyon where we will hike to Supai to live with the Havasu Indians and learn about their connection to the sacred land and the history of oppression of native people for their Land; the Everglades to study how man’s manipulation of the ecosystem (making canals) impacts that ecosystem; the Pacific Northwest to study alternative energy and how that is being integrated into the human world; and other locales and lessons.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of a first-year seminar.
