Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This interdisciplinary seminar surveys the diverse cultural values, myths and identities that have shaped and been shaped by the natural landscape in the western United States. Taking a historical approach, students examine how different economic, political and social forces introduced new waves of cultures and values into the region to transform the environment - both materially and conceptually. For each topic, we will also explore how these historical values and events continue to impact modern issues in the West (from mining reclamation to recreation tourism) as well as efforts to achieve a more sustainable and just future in the so-called New West.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
This will be based on participation, class presentations and a final written paper of approximately 20 pp. for MA students and 25-30 pp (11.000 words) for BA students.
