HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH

3 credits.

Introduction to other disciplinary and interdisciplinary methods studying past environmental change and the human cultural contexts within which such change occurs. Explore the disparate forms of evidence that can be used to reconstruct past environmental changes and their human meanings. Build a strong sense of community among graduate students and faculty members at UW-Madison who share an interest in past environmental change by creating a context within which students from different programs can work together.
