| The purpose of this workshop is to explore the dynamics of a core curriculum class co-facilitated by women's studies and kinesiology. Women in the Wilderness, the popular title of the course, is designed to explore and challenge women's relationship to nature and the environment through experiential learning as influenced by a range of feminist perspectives. Throughout the semester the students use critical thinking skills from both theoretical and practical perspectives, thus merging feminist theory and practice. The activities in the class foster leadership skills by connecting tangible, physical experiences in the outdoors to a thorough consideration of the existing literature. |
