Perspectives on Wilderness is a senior level integrative course that fills the integrative requirement of the old General Education Requirements and the connections requirement of the new General Education Requirements. The course was originally conceived and organized by Sally Boland (English Department), Richard Hunnewill (Art Department) and Larry Spencer (Department of Biological Sciences). The course has been team taught by the three principals once and taught individually a number of times by each of the three faculty members. Dr. Boland is now deceased
The goal of the course is for students to examine the ways in which our perspectives on wilderness have changed in the time since the first explorers and settlers arrived in the New World to the present time. The course is integrative in the sense that we will examine the literature, history, art, and science associated with our relationships to the natural world.
