Session 2
In this course, taught by art historian and curator Rachel Nelson, PhD and Yosemite Park Ranger Karen Amstutz, MA, students will learn through lectures, readings, and intensive field research about the social, political, and cultural history of the Yosemite National Park in relation to the climate crisis. Under consideration will be the relationships between the changing climate and the policies and ideologies which enabled the transformation of the region into a national park, including the history of colonization and expansionism. Students will engage with writings, oral histories, and visual culture, including landscape painting, photography, and other visual materials, to research the shifting meanings of wilderness and the possession of spaces, as well as the myriad changes the park has seen environmentally and socially since its inception in 1890. Through field research uand guest lectures during one week spent at Yosemite, class will also learn about the ongoing stewardship of the 7 associated Tribes (Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation, Bishop Paiute Tribe, Bridgeport Indian Colony, Mono Lake Kutzadika’a, North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California, Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians, and the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians) whose ancestors have lived in the Yosemite region for at least 8,000 years. Utilizing the learning underwent through this unique combination of field study and other research, students in the class will also begin to conceptualize what can be applied from these histories that can inform the possible future of public lands as response to the climate crisis. Enrollment limited to 12 students. Application coming soon.
