GBL 255 US ALASKA: THE CALL OF THE WILD
This is a hybrid course begins online June 1, 2017 and goes on-location in Alaska (begins in Anchorage, Alaska June 12, 2017). This course fulfills either the Literature or Society requirement and, when combined with the internship, satisfies two units of Elon's Experiential Learning Requirement. This course combines experience in Alaska with the study of its people and its natural environment through the work of well-known environmental, historical, and literary writers. Students will explore the ways different native and non-native peoples have perceived Alaska and examine how their own perceptions of Alaska have been constructed.
