OEL 2130 - Wilderness Mind
Credit(s): 3
This course explores the interface between wilderness and the self from historical, cultural, psychological, and personal perspectives, aimed toward the student’s development of their own wilderness ethic. The course examines historical American perspectives on wilderness and assesses how our relationship with wilderness has changed over time. These perspectives are then compared and contrasted with views presented by other cultures. These explorations will be advanced through the use of lecture, dialogue, and experiential learning. Throughout the course, the student will be challenged to examine their own views on the meaning, purpose, and value of wilderness and to develop a set of personal ethics and practices that correspond with those views. This course includes a two day Leave No Trace trainer course leading to certification with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.
Offering Location: Lyndon Campus
