Humans, Nature, and Sustainability: Tidelines Institute Alaska
The Humans, Nature, and Sustainability program will take students to a remote homestead on Inian Islands in Alaska where they will learn what it takes to live sustainably and explore this unique setting by kayaking, hiking, and hands-on field study. Students will return with a better understanding of:
- U.S. and environmental history, specifically the Southeastern Coastal Indigenous Peoples and the environmental and cultural impact of settler colonialism in Alaska;
- ecosystems, ethical use of land and natural resources, and sustainable living; and
- the ecological and social justice issues exacerbated by climate change.
