Case studies of resilience and ingenuity include the botanic gardens in the West Indies, national parks in Costa Rica, agritourism in Tuscany, sustainable design in the Northwest Territories, and open space in Oakland, California. Can comprehensive analysis of these individual solutions offer glocal templates? Prerequisites: LSS 100 or LSS 105 or by permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 20. (E)
