Course Catalog Description:: This fall we will focus on the Mississippi River. The site of an urban National Park, the Mississippi River flows through campus. Within view of all who travel between the east and west banks of the University of Minnesota, it immediately captures our imaginations. We will synthesize multiple perspectives gained from our experiences on a river boat ride, launching aerial cameras, recording underwater views, and engaging in conversations with guest artists, architects, composers, scientists, and historians. This range of creative media and research processes will reveal the dynamic mix of nature and culture along the urban edges of the Mississippi River. This interdisciplinary seminar is an invitation to explore how we each develop attachments to particular places and how this process sparks a sense of connection and community. Meet students with a wide range of interests and backgrounds while working on individual and collaborative projects that introduce you to creative ways of using research, media and imagination to communicate your sense of the Mississippi River and how place matters.
