EA 136 PZ -Place-based Environmental Analysis

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Based on a social constructivist perspective, the course addresses theoretical frameworks and methods used to interpret a cultural group’s definition of and relationship to nature and the environment. Emphasis is placed on ‘new’ creative, interactive, and participatory methods of geographical research, which, along with interviews, are used to elicit detailed pictures of places as people experience them, producing data and insights that can be applied in place-making, community-based planning, public participation GIS, and place-based conservation planning and management. Students will complete a project designed to provide grassroots input into a specific environmental planning process.
