Faculty First Year Seminars 197RP1 - Race, Place & the Environment

Ever wonder how different cultures create such different places to live? This seminar will explore how race and culture affects how we interact with our environment, creating communities and urban environments that reflect how we view the world. We will also explore how cultural attitudes and values affect how we see "nature" and how willing we are to protect the environment. The seminar will virtually explore communities in the United States, Central America, Europe and the Asia. It will also integrate multiple forms of media to explore concepts of space and place.
