What you’ll be able to do

  • Describe the last 400 years of Wisconsin’s environmental history, with a particular focus on human uses of land

  • Understand the science behind Wisconsin’s environmental history (e.g. whether or not early Wisconsinites recognized it, soil fertility was a driver in the shift from wheat to dairy, and then the green revolution radically changed agriculture, etc.)

  • Think critically about the roles science plays in human choices (e.g. does understanding the genetics of genetic modification impact whether or not we plant GMO soybeans?)

  • Describe and think critically about the environmental history of a specific place in Wisconsin, based on original research (often drawing on the resources of the Wisconsin Historical Society)
