This course is designed to introduce students to field research methods
in geography and to explore aspects of New England landscape change. We
will focus on field techniques which are most effectively learned on the
ground, such as analytical observation, mapping, photography and
interviewing. Students will have opportunities both to work in groups
and to design and carry out their own research projects.
