INT3022 ST:Human and Natural Communities

This course is an introduction to Vermont’s natural landscape and how humans have inhabited, used, shaped, and changed the land over time. Using both sociological and environmental science viewpoints, students will learn about Vermont’s human communities and how they relate to the land. Students will reflect on the meaning of place and belonging and will come away from this course with a sharpened ability to read the natural landscape, to see the history of human relationship with the land, as written upon its face, and to understand the connection between social and ecological breakdown. Some class meetings will include required time outdoors to explore local landscapes. Human and Natural Communities can serve as an upper-division science or social science course. Credits: 3.000
