This highly interdisciplinary course explores multiple social-scientific perspectives on a specific geographic location -- for example, Tucson -- while also combining academic analysis with a community perspective. The course is divided into units, each of which takes up a different social-scientific lens through which to explore the topic: archaeology, history, political science, anthropology and geography are among those disciplines likely to be represented. A lecture from a UA professor is typically matched with an exemplary talk from a member of the community in order to provide not just an interdisciplinary view, but also analytical perspectives that are not necessarily purely academic. Students will be assigned reading for each unit, and will engage in active field work as well as critical writing in response to materials presented. Regular discussions with the course coordinators and instructor provide opportunities to make connections among the different learning experiences in the class.
