BIOL 411 - Ethnobotany

Credits: 4

This course teaches ethnobotany as the study of the classification, use, and management of plants by people, and will draw on a range of disciplines, including natural and social sciences, to show how conservation of plants and of local knowledge about them can be achieved. It will also demonstrate how ethnobotany is critical to the growing importance of developing new crops and products such as drugs from traditional plants. The course will establish the basic introduction to the field, showing how botany, anthropology, ecology, economics and linguistics are all employed in the techniques and methods involved. It will explain data collection and hypothesis testing and will provide practical ideas on fieldwork ethics and the application of results to conservation and community development.

Offered: Spring.
