ODST 277 - Knowing Nature

This course will explore the ways in which individuals and human cultures perceive, define, and exist in relationship with nature. We will engage with both contemporary scientific views of nature as well as indigenous relational ways of living and defining nature. In our exploration of how culture and experience impact the way that we understand the “natural world”, we will seek to develop personal practices that reflect reciprocity and justice for natural systems. This course may count as Diversity distribution requirement. (One unit credit)
