GHY 2200 - National Park Approaches to Animal Preservation (3) [GenEd: SS]
When Offered: Fall
GEN ED: Social Science Designation; Integrative Learning Experience (Theme: “Human-Animal Bond”)
This course will focus on national parks, both domestic and international, and how these spaces are used by humans to protect, observe, and celebrate animals. We will explore the relatively recent emergence of “national parks” and focus on the increased emphasis on national parks serving as animal preserves during the past century. Although students will be exposed to ideas and theories from a variety of disciplines, our overarching perspective will be the integrative perspective of the geographer, exploring the environmental change processes that underlie past, present and potential future approaches to protecting animals in national parks.
