LALS 183Ecologías Hemisféricas
Students complete readings and guided research on key topics in tropical ecology (using a Spanish language Ecología Tropical textbook), and are trained to use various tools (traditional analog as well as digital) related to natural history field observations and species identification. Students couple these topical and skill-building foci with more traditionally LALS-framed humanities and social science readings. The goal is to link guiding frameworks and conceptual pillars of LALS to the way we see and interpret beyond-human worlds/ecologies of this hemisphere.
- Taught in Spanish; satisfies one Spanish-language elective requirement for Language Intensive concentration and combined major with Education, Democracy, and Justice.
