This summer, students at the University of Denver participated in the collaborative course, "Ways of Seeing & Sensing," at the Kennedy Mountain Campus.
The curriculum was jointly developed by the Department of Biological Sciences, the Department of Physics & Astronomy, and the Department of Media, Film & Journalism Studies.
Co-taught by Joe Brown, Jennifer Hoffman, and Julie Morris, the course offered a location-based learning experience centered on the idea that how we "see" or "sense" the world around us shapes how we understand it.
