In second session, this student-originated study gives students the opportunity to create their own plan of study related to ethnobotany: relationships between people, plants, and places. Studies can emphasize botany, community herbalism, culture, ecology, fiber arts, heritage, history, horticulture, Indigenous studies, natural dyeing, plant illustration and/or more. Possibilities are extensive.
Students must obtain advance approval by emailing faculty with (1) your topic of interest, (2) learning objectives for a 5-week period, and (3) relevant background supporting your ability to carry out this student-originated study.
Credit load is variable -- either 4 or 8 credits -- which requires logging either 20 or 40 hours weekly (on average). Indicate your preferred number of credits. Faculty will provide guidance in refining student plans, organize groupings of related topics, and give feedback throughout the session.
