Expanded Course Description
| This is an interdisciplinary course combining folklore, environmental history, and earth sciences, focused on the Cascades mountain range--the volcanoes and glaciers that created the mountains, and the human cultures that formed in the environment. Oral History, Archaeology, and Geoscience each construct narratives of the remote past by gathering different kinds of fragmentary evidence: material, verbal, and visual. These narratives are built by correlating or structuring time and action. If the research is a study of folktales, researchers compare and categorize tales based upon characterizations and the sequence of key actions. If geology, it has to do with the movement of tectonic plates, of magma, glaciers, faults, terranes, and erosion in dynamic sequences. If archaeology, researchers try to ascertain the social structure, subsistence, trading patterns and even spiritual beliefs of past peoples by analyzing strata of deposits and artifacts. “Ice and Fire in the Cascades” will try to develop a “deep history” or “big history” that synthesizes the scales of human and the methods of science and of humanities. |
