Connect to UBC Calendar |
| Credit Value: 3 Credits
Schedule: Not offered, 2025/2026 Description: This course will focus on the role of traditional and local ecological knowledge in environmental assessment processes and the development of resource management plans. Natural resource management approaches have long been critiqued for highlighting bio-economic features over cultural and social aspects of the human-environmental interface. Practitioners have come a long way over the past several decades; they are now open to incorporating local systems of knowledge into management plants. This difficulty falls in how to implement this. This seminar explores the nature and extent of what Traditional Indigenous Ecological Knowledge is, how it’s presented by various community partners, and how to incorporate it into contemporary resource planning. This is a hand-on seminar/workshop course, in which cooperative and collaborative practices will be the guiding approach to learning. Our overarching intellectual approach is one framed by Indigenous Knowledge. Course Instructor: Dr. Charles Menzies |
