Find out what is involved with a Study Abroad program to Botswana and Okavango Delta. The trip is Aug. 3-20, 2025.
This class will explore the concept of wilderness with a particular focus on how wilderness is impacted by human behavior and social structures (culture, laws, economies of tourism, farming, industry, etc.). We will explore topics related to a specific wilderness area – the Okavango Delta in rural Botswana – as a case study to consider wilderness in the 21st century. In doing so, we will utilize social science-based research approaches and theories to understand the range of ways human interaction with the Delta impacts it as a wilderness area.
The trip is lead by John Carroll and Gwendwr Meredith.
