Alaska Studies is more than the study of Alaska and its history. It is the exploration of who we are and how we got this way. This course will focus on answering Who, What, Where, When and How of Alaska. It is my expectation that at the end of this course you will have a new appreciation of the unique and bold experiment that is Alaska Studies.

Because of the Amount of material that will be covered you must come to class everyday prepared to contribute to the discussion that is the primary component to understanding this class and the material. In order to fully comprehend the uniqueness that is Alaska, you must participate in the lecture and discussion, ask questions and take clear notes.
