Explore humankind's connection with the mountain environment throughout time and across cultures. From the sacrificial rituals of the Inca in the high Andes, to the Buddhist pilgrimages of the Himalayas; from the Inuit legends of Denali, to the European Romantics first artistic forays in the Alps - we'll explore the different ways cultures have made sense out of the meaning and spiritual dimensions of the world's high places. The class will incorporate multimedia lectures, readings, a trip to our own Rocky Mountains, and open discussion.
