Experimental Course Fall 2023 For the next generation of scientists, lawyers, policy makers, public health professionals, business executives and entrepreneurs, and for any other career path, understanding and seeking solutions to the complex problems currently faced by humanity and the ecosystem is essential. This requires, more than ever, that students be exposed to multi-method, inter- and trans-disciplinary, experiential learning. Maine and the world are experiencing multiple existential security threats (eg., climate change, health, economy, geopolitics) that are interrelated to one another.  Students will work in teams applying explicit methods to a broad range of critical challenges. Students will apply what they learn by producing a research paper for a peer-review journal. The INT 505 portion of the course requires students to work with at least one of the course instructors to prepare an academic paper that (i) builds on the course content of one (or more) of the methods shared, and (ii) fits with their program, major or concentration of interest. Note: the course is hosted by the University of Maine Portland Gateway (https://umaine.edu/portland) and is open to graduate students in any field across the University of Maine System.

Uses sources in art, history, literature, economics, Native American studies, African American studies, and other fields.

How have artists and writers helped construct the Maine coast in the popular imagination? How do the people - both currently and in the past - use the state's coastal landscape and resources? How do social, demographic, cultural, and environmental factors shape this relationship throughout history?
