This course provides an introduction to wood through readings, lectures and hands on experiments carried out in the workshop.

Our class will delve into the idea of "ownership"-- who gets to be an owner and who doesn't, what can be owned today and in the past, what rights come with owning, and what limits there are on owning types of property. We'll dig into the rationales behind these different types of property, and consider alternate ways that humans have organized access to and control over resources and information.
