COLEG-370 Wilderness, Culture, Science: Reading the Adirondacks (Intensive Seminar, Adirondack Program)
The place we know as the "Adirondacks" is produced by a process of reading and inscribing across multiple disciplines, perspectives, and eras. Legal, political, literary, and scientific texts—from the 19th Century to the present—all help to define, frame, and regulate our understandings and use of this vast local wilderness. Students will examine such texts in situ for their ability to deepen and complicate our sense of wilderness and place. Students will also produce their own critical and creative writing to explore how their visions can transform the landscape of this complex resource.
