Description
This course underscores the traditional ecological knowledge systems of Indigenous and local communities by examining the interactions among these communities, their knowledge, and the local environments that have sustained over time. Key themes include traditional food and medicinal plants, traditional natural resources management systems, and learning within indigenous knowledge and indigenous cultural landscapes. Such learning is explored through global case studies. Research approaches, tools, methods and ethical issues surrounding ethnoecological research within local and Indigenous communities are also explored. This course helps in developing academic and research skills in conducting interdisciplinary research that examines the relationships between nature and culture.
