Um námskeiðið

An essential element of any resource management issue or community development question is understanding how and why the circumstances developed into their present-day condition.  The Human Ecology class will take a historical approach to investigating people's complex relationships with their environments, as a way of better understanding coastal places, communities, and how they interrelate -- hopefully helping you to untangle resource controversies or work with communities to be creative in their future ambitions.
