From the City to the Farm (PLS 392) Urban Landscapes: Canal Origins and Stearns Quarry Parks Exploration of Chicago's urban parklands: old and new waterways, riding the El, reading the urban landscape, aesthetics of concrete and steel, Chicago history (picking litter) Exploration of IL's rural lands at CSA farm near Rockford, IL: film analysis (The Real Dirt on Farmer John); aesthetics of farmland; agriculture and community; rural transformations of nature; organic farming and environmental restoration (picking greens and petting animals) Rural Landscapes: Angelic Organics Farm

Field Trips and Online Pedagogy Online discussion: complements and enlivens reading assignments Formal writing: detailed analytic reflection on experiences Transformative learning: toward a new way of seeing the landscape Documentation: photos essays on my faculty websitefaculty website

Logistical Considerations Plan carefully (timing, directions, on-site contacts) Integrate with syllabus (readings + assignments) Use travel waiver forms for RU (and possibly the site itself) Keep fees low ($25 max in my experience; free is good!) Provide alternatives for those who can't attend (local and/or online)
