Explore the intersection of the sciences and the humanities by learning how multiple disciplines answer the question, “What is nature?” Students will specifically consider the role of the body, mind, and spirit in nature, the latter from both western and non-western perspectives. Special emphasis is placed on examining the role that race has historically had in regard to U.S. indigenous populations and the role that it plays today regarding wilderness access and cultural notions. Prerequisite: Open only to students admitted to the Lake Tahoe Semester program..
