Description
The purpose of this course is to examine the philosophy and practice of science, with a focus on Environmental and Geological Sciences and Geography. The course focuses on improving communications and collaboration between the Natural Sciences and Social Sciences, and it therefore incorporates contributions from multiple EES faculty. This is a course that focuses on taking a step back from our immediate research in order to ask how we pose questions, formulate theories, and collect data. Each session is framed as a discussion, and students are expected to bring their own interests, training, and curiosity in order to facilitate cross-disciplinary communication.
