}{\plain \b COURSE DESCRIPTION:}{\plain \par
}{\plain \tab }{\plain \b Historical ecology}{\plain  is a }{\plain \b\i framework for integrating physical, biological, and social 
science data with insights from the humanities to understand the reciprocal relationship 
between human activity and the Earth system}{\plain \b .  }{\plain The practice of historical ecology traces human-environment relations in both time and space.  The course explores the pivotal role of bridging 
disciplines, the rules for treating diverse evidentiary categories (e.g., the role of independent lines 
of evidence, multi-scalar understanding of cause-and-effect relationships) and collaborative 
schemes that can foster interdisciplinary collaboration. \par

}{\plain \b\i Class Project: Historical Ecology Video:}{\plain  Class members are invited to participate in planning a 
20-minute video.  The audience for the video would include international research coordinating 
organizations, national environmental administrators, and university students and faculty who are 
interested in collaboration.  This class can help answer questions such as these: What is historical 
ecology?  How is it done?  What are the benefits?  Are there negatives?  What examples and case 
studies best illustrate and explain historical ecology?\par
}{\plain \b\i Journal:}{\plain  20% of course grade, due }{\plain \b April 28}{\plain \b\super th}{\plain .  Journal entries should summarize the main points 
of each reading, then explore insights, confusions, opinions, etc. that the reading provoked.  You 
may turn in your journal anytime during the semester for guidance.  You should plan to use the 
journal as a study aid, but taken together the journals will also be helpful in planning the video as 
they will highlight important points and indicate the most effective examples and strategies.\par
}{\plain \b\i Final Examination:}{\plain  20% of course grade, take-home due }{\plain \b May 05}{\plain \b\super th}{\plain \b  at 5pm}{\plain .  For the final exam, 
you should write an essay on the }{\plain \b\i historical ecology of a place}{\plain  meaningful to you, or research a 
}{\plain \b\i topic of particular interest}{\plain  to you.  The exam should not exceed ten typed pages.\par
