Section Title: Wilderness in Ancient World Section Info: We tend to think of environmental issues as modern, but ancient Greeks and Romans were fascinated by the natural world and worried about their place in it. They mined the landscape for precious metals, built massive farms and waterways, and hunted animals to extinction. In this class, we will study how ancient people defined "the wilderness" and thought they should limit their effect on other species. In addition to reading ancient texts, students will volunteer with a local nature organization and examine their own environmental beliefs through reflective writing. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Freshman or Sophomore class standing.
