Society, Art & Conservation
This Fall semester, the department is piloting a new class concept for GRG 336 National Parks & Protected Areas. From Human wildlife conflicts to the role of woman in conservation, Dr. T Meyer features topics and problems from Botswana while students assess how these issues play out in the United States and other parts of the world. By the use of online lectures, self-recorded videos and life Q&A sessions, we try to bring the world to our campus. In this lecture block, we are talking about the role of woman in resource conservation. Students present on the history of woman in the United States National Park Service, the role of woman in forest conservation in India and Central America. Dr. Meyer is visiting Ms. Kushonje, founder and director of Botswana Quality Baskets. This initiative sets multiple positive examples how low cost, well executed efforts can make a large difference for woman, conservation and the overall community.
