This course provides students with the experience and direction necessary to understand their own communities within a bioregional context. This requires students to identify and map where they live in terms of geology, biology, and climate, rather than relying on political borders, and to research and interpret the natural and cultural histories of their regions in order to understand how their own bioregions enable some possibilities of human community development while limiting others. In addition to researching and writing a Deep History of their bioregions, students will compile an annotated list of resources that provide an expanded temporal representation of the region’s geology, botany, wildlife biology, human population dynamics, cultural practices, and environmental impacts.SPECIAL NOTES: N/A
