Aim/Objectives
This paper explores the way humans over time have constructed, conceptualised and debated gardens and environments. Theoretical perspectives from the new fields of garden and environmental history inform the paper.
The course introduces students to the rich scholarship and methodologies of garden and environment history. It provides students with the skills to identify and critically engage with non-traditional historical sources such as garden sites, images and objects. It enables students to confidently assess complex historiographical works and to situate their work within these debates. It provides students with the awareness of non-Western techniques in assessing landscapes and with the ability to look at cross-cultural transfer of ideas and plants.
