CPED 203 - Where, When, and How Do We Belong? Biohistorical Citizenship. (4 Cr.)

(GCR Biological and Physical Science area)
What is the meaning of citizenship in an interconnected world? How can citizenship claims be empowering and exclusionary in the ownership and use of land, knowledge, and science? These questions challenge us to see both ourselves and others in dynamic relationships with each other, negotiating space and developing community in the process. In this course, students will explore answers to these questions through the exploration of biohistorical phenomena and the concomitant processes and practices that facilitate the transmission, reproduction, and elaboration of knowledge in the context of biology and history. The course will consider contemporary and historical use of local and regional lands, how land use impacts ecology over time, and how citizenship claims influences participation knowledge production around these ideas. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. Dator and Lenkowski.
