Science meets Citizenship

This interdisciplinary course seeks to engage students in the analysis of contentious public issues (focused particularly on natural resources) using multiple disciplinary lenses.  In so doing, students are challenged to apply their disciplinary training and the knowledge and skills developed through the General Education program to evaluate the ways in which citizens have addressed these difficult issues.  They practice the application of skills, particularly writing for the public arena, toward greater understanding and appreciation of the civic issues and the lives of active citizens.
