Desperately Seeking Dragons
What is this travel course about?
Through this course students will develop an awareness of the relationship among disciplines as they explore folklore and its origins in the natural world. Students will interact with experts in museum and lab environments as well as with local people in lore-rich locales within Scotland. These experiences will allow students to move from a theoretical exploration of cultural phenomenon and its origins to on site, authentic observations of cultural and natural world artifacts. And of course, lots of dragons!
