EDU 205A — Ethnographic Research I
Full Title: Ethnographic Research in Schools I: Current Theory and Practice
Lecture—4 hours. Prerequisite: graduate standing. Current literature from anthropology and society related to schools. Emphasis on the organizational structure of institutions, and the analysis of face-to-face interaction. Will explore the relationship between field-based research and theory development on the acquisition of knowledge in specific social and cultural contexts. Instructor Karen Watson-Gegeo

LDA 201 Theory and Philosophy of the Designed Environment
Seminar—4 hours. Examines the major theories of environmental design. Epistemology of design serves as framework to examine modern landscape architecture, architecture, urban design and planning. Normative theories of design are reviewed along with the social and environmental sciences. Offered in alternate years.—Francis
LDA 205(Previously 204) — Physical Planning and Design
Description:
This course introduces students to the regulation, design, and development of the built landscape. It will investigate planning and land development processes, zoning and subdivision regulation, site planning, urban design goals and methods, and public participation strategies. Throughout, the aim is to give students an understanding of how built landscapes evolve, and how they can be creatively designed in the future to meet community and ecological goals. This class is appropriate for students in landscape architecture, community development, geography, and environmental planning programs, as well as others interested in place-making strategies beyond the building scale. The emphasis in this class is on "learning by doing;" in addition to lecture, the course will emphasize sketch exercises, short assignments, group discussion, and field trips to observe the physical environment firsthand.
Instructor
Stephen M. Wheeler, Ph.D., AICP
LDA 260 Landscape and Power
Seminar—4 hours. Prerequisite: graduate standing or consent of instructor. How various representations of landscape have historically worked as agents of cultural power. Course framework is interdisciplinary, including studies of landscape representation in literature, art, photography, cartography, cinema, and landscape architecture.—Schenker
LDA 280 Landscape Conservation
Seminar—3 hours. Focus is on land planning, design, and management techniques to further the goal of resource preservation. Examines current critical theory in the establishment and management of conservation areas. Offered in alternate years.—Greco
