The Political Economy of Conservation in Nineteenth-Century America. A few additional reading assignments will be made. We will consult maps and other historical documents from time to time. We will also view several films. This trip is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, September 21.
Course work focuses on reading and discussion.
Therefore, attendance and participation are important and will be considered in grading. We will use this forum for course administration and for sharing pertinent material we individually encounter on the internet or elsewhere. Therefore, each student in the course must have an active e-mail account and use it regularly. Further information about the list, including instructions on how to subscribe, is appended to this syllabus. This list is open to other members of the community and may have some carry-over members from last semester.
