FB 2007;FQ 2009;WB 2008: Sea Kayaking and Marine Natural History Offered: Location:Gulf of California,Sonora Mexico
3.00 Credits
Prescott College
Sea kayaking places us in intimate contact with the ocean environment. Kayakers are as much in the water as they are upon it. This unique perspective allows us to experience the power of the ocean's physical nature as well as giving us the opportunity to closely observe the living communities in the water and on the shore. This course is an introductory study of the interrelated topics of marine natural history and expeditionary sea kayaking. Topics for study will include tides and currents, wind and waves, and the natural history of near shore organisms, including fishes, seabirds, marine invertebrates, and marine mammals. When conditions permit, we will snorkel to observe subtidal life. Students will learn minimum impact travel and camping skills and will be introduced to the regional impacts of coastal commerce and recreation. As apprentices to the sea, students will learn and practice paddling skills, navigation, and ocean survival techniques drawn from the rich, thousand-year history of sea kayaking.

FB 2007;SQ 2008: Special Topics in CRS: Migration in the Americas Offered: Location:Prescott and S Arizona & Mexico
3.00 Credits
Prescott College
Over the past decade, Arizona has increasingly been at the forefront of national immigration debates. Migration is a widespread phenomenon throughout the Americas that often lacks historical perspective and political and economic contextualization. Beginning with a historical overview of migration in the Americas, this course will focus on migration streams since World War II. We will analyze the dynamics behind political and economic migration, forced migration (including human trafficking), migration and gender, and issues of identity and transnationalism. Although much of our emphasis will rest upon undocumented migration into the United States, we will also examine internal migration within Latin American countries as well as lesser-known migration streams in the Americas. The course will include a week-long field study in the Arizona-Sonora border region.
