AMST 250 - A Sense of Place

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)

This course examines the key concept of ‘place.’ We examine the evolution of how a place is understood through geographic inquiry and how the concept has grown to include a variety of experiences, voices, and historical events. Students explore how being “on” and “with” lands in the Lenape diaspora (which are also claimed by both New York State and the United States at large) builds a relationship and understanding of place. We also study recent interventions from scholars working in a range of disciplines and geographies, including scholars and practitioners from Native nations around the world. Leora Gansworth.

Two 75-minute periods.
