|IV. Description and purpose of the general education course: General Education courses must be introductory and foundational within the |

|offering department or within the General Education Group. They must emphasize breadth, context, and connectedness; and relate course |

|content to students’ future lives: See Preamble. |

|This inter-disciplinary, junior-level course is designed for all majors, and has no prerequisites. It aims to develop a global perspective |

|on human-nature interactions, with an emphasis on ethical, economic, and ecological worldviews. These field-based, experiential classes |

|focus on the environmental and conservation concerns, as well as the modern & traditional cultures of New Zealand. Studying environments and|

|cultures far from our home not only sharpens our own knowledge and priorities, but also introduces different views, different values, and |

|different approaches. New Zealand is an ideal and unique place to study conservation and the sustainable management of natural resources. It|

|has amazing ecological diversity and complexity, vibrant indigenous & modern cultures, and challenging issues of economic, social, and |

|ecological sustainability. We believe that today’s environmental and conservation issues will take complex, integrated, global approaches |

|that will transcend international boundaries. |

|V. Criteria: Briefly explain how this course meets the criteria for the group. |

|Indigenous and/or global courses will familiarize students with the |Given the recent colonial history of New Zealand (Maori arrival 800|

|values, histories, and institutions of two or more societies through |years ago, British arrival 150 years ago), the values, histories, |

|the uses of comparative approaches. |and institutions of both cultures are constantly apparent to |

| |students. Maori iwi (Ngai Tahu) own a significant number of |

| |economic entities on the South Island, particularly major tourism |

| |operators. |

|Indigenous perspective courses address the longstanding tenure of a |The Maori land ethic (kaitiakitanga – the exercise of guardianship |

|particular people in a particular geographical region, their histories,|by the tangata whenua, the people of the land), and its basis in |

|cultures, and ways of living as well as their interaction with other |the New Zealand ‘constitutional’ document, the Treaty of Waitangi, |

|groups, indigenous and non-indigenous. |are introduced early in this program and then used to inform all |

| |subsequent discussions of sustainable human-nature relationships. |

|Global perspective courses adopt a broad focus with respect to time, |New Zealand is truly a multi-ethnic society, that although |

|place, and subject matter and one that is transnational and/or |geographically isolated, is highly reliant upon export income. |

|multi-cultural/ethnic in nature.  Whether the cultures or societies |Economically and socially, New Zealand is tightly bound to external|

|under study are primarily historical or contemporary, courses |markets and cultures through agriculture, tourism, and forestry. |

|investigate significant linkages or interactions that range across time| |

|and space. | |

|VI. Student Learning Goals: Briefly explain how this course will meet the applicable learning goals. |

|1.     place human behavior and cultural ideas into a wider |New Zealanders pride themselves on their ‘clean, green’ image, and|

|(global/indigenous) framework, and enhance their understanding of the |understand their reliance upon sustainable relationships with |

|complex interdependence of nations and societies and their physical |their natural environment. Many of our lectures and guest speakers|

|environments; |reference both their independence and their inter-dependence in |

| |the face of global pressures. This course examines the personal |

| |and social initiatives undertaken towards a healthy environment |

| |and society. |

|2.     demonstrate an awareness of the diverse ways humans structure |Lectures from NZ faculty introduce the agricultural, political, |

|their social, political, and cultural lives; and |energy, and tourism industries. Site visits include sheep, cattle,|

| |mass tourism, ecotourism, hydropower, and natural resource |

| |management facilities. Group discussions open up an understanding|

| |of the way New Zealanders structure their lives within these |

| |industries and communities. |

|3.     analyze and compare the rights and responsibilities of |An overall emphasis on sustainability, the urgency of global |

|citizenship in the 21st century including those of their own societies |climate change, and the high cost of energy frame this course. |

|and cultures. |Students are challenged to consider their own social and |

| |environmental impacts and how their future professional |

| |aspirations can change our society. |

|VII. Assessment: How are the learning goals above measured? Please list at least one assignment, activity or test question for each goal. |

|1. Explain how different interpretations of the Treaty have led to disagreements over environmental resources (e.g. fisheries, foreshore and|

|seabed, cultural harvest etc). (b) How is the Maori “conservation ethic” different from the Western conservation ethic? Give examples of how|

|these differences result in differing ways of managing and conserving the natural environment. |

|2. Explain how different interpretations of the Treaty have led to disagreements over environmental resources (e.g. fisheries, foreshore and|

|seabed, cultural harvest etc). (b) How is the Maori “conservation ethic” different from the Western conservation ethic? Give examples of how|

|these differences result in differing ways of managing and conserving the natural environment. |

|3. What will it take for people like the proud citizens of the South Island of New Zealand to become a sustainable society? What sorts of |

|experiences would lead them to engage in action for ecological stewardship and/or have different environmental values or practices? How are |

|Maori perspectives an important component? |

|VIII. Justification: Normally, general education courses will not carry pre-requisites, will carry at least 3 credits, and will be numbered |

|at the 100-200 level. If the course has more than one pre-requisite, carries fewer than three credits, or is upper division (numbered above |

|the 200 level), provide rationale for exception(s). |

|While this is a junior-level course (reflecting the approximate study skills and academic workload required), it is designed for all majors |

|and has no pre-requisites.   It begins with introductory lectures from New Zealand professors (such as on the agricultural, political, |

|energy and tourism industries), as well as foundational readings (such as from the Penguin History of New Zealand, and The Natural History |

|of Southern New Zealand).    No prior background in anthropology, geography or land ethics is assumed.     Rather concepts from these |

|disciplines, as well as from cultural and natural history, are introduced by Dr. Pat Devlin beginning in the classroom, at the Canterbury |

|Museum, Antarctic Center, and then at numerous field locations.     Initially, the New Zealand culture and geography quiz, as well as flora |

|and fauna quizzes throughout the program build student’s knowledge and comfort with the natural and social landscape through which they |

|travel.    Subsequent readings, module questions and discussions build on these foundations, with the final exam providing students the |

|opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of New Zealand society (Maori, British, and contemporary) and the sustainability challenges |

|it faces.   The final exam also challenges students consider their own social and environmental impacts and how their future professional |

|aspirations and activities might impact our globalized society. |

|IX. Syllabus: Paste syllabus below or attach and send digital copy with form. ( The syllabus should clearly describe learning outcomes |

|related to the above criteria and learning goals. |

Kia Ora and Welcome to the University of Montana Study Abroad Program in New Zealand

PTRM 345 Sustaining Human Society and the Natural Environment (6 semester credits)

Please note: This syllabus is a general plan only and deviations may be necessary

The Instructors: Dr. Bill Borrie, Professor, The University of Montana

Dr. Pat Devlin, Reader (Emeritus), Lincoln University

Dr. Laura Sessions, Director, Educational Travel and Study Abroad

Supporting lectures from faculty at Lincoln University and University of Canterbury (Christchurch, New Zealand)

Plus local field experts from leading environmental organizations in New Zealand

This 4-week study abroad program will examine the natural (and related social) history and resource conservation of New Zealand’s South Island. New Zealand’s isolation, after its separation from the ancient Gondwanaland millions of years ago, has left this island nation with a unique natural heritage. The plants and animals that have evolved here are unknown elsewhere in the world. Two waves of colonization (Maori and British) have, in recent times, significantly changed the physical environment they discovered upon arrival in New Zealand. Our program will focus on topics related to sustainable development (sustaining human societies and the natural environment) through educational travel, field trips, active participation, lecture presentations and seminars, and coursework exercises.

Course description

The goal of this course is using the New Zealand case to integrate the different perspectives of diverse natural, biological, and social science disciplines to improve understanding of relationships between human societies and the natural environment. Maori worldviews and experiences are compared and integrated into contemporary New Zealand society. The impact of humans on natural resources and their sustainable use and conservation will be emphasized.

Course objectives

By the end of the program students will:

1. Understand the natural history, biogeography, ecological diversity, and related social and cultural contexts of New Zealand through an exploration of the South Island’s network of national parks and protected areas, which encompass rainforests, glaciers, mountains, coastlines, marine reserves, and offshore islands;

2. Develop an appreciation of the Maori culture, its history, and the challenges modern Maori face in New Zealand society;

3. Understand the impacts of human actions (Maori, British, and contemporary) on the natural systems, and human responses to those changes, using the case of New Zealand’s South Island;

4. Develop an understanding of ecological education practices, integrated natural resource management, and conservation actions throughout New Zealand’s South Island;

5. Be able to address relationships between human societies and their natural environments from multiple disciplinary perspectives and to develop a complex, multi-faceted and holistic view of human – environment connections that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites, but eligible students must be accepted by the University of Montana and be in good academic standing at their home institution.

Attendance and lateness policy

Active participation in all scheduled, program–related activities is required, including group meetings, discussions, field excursions, as well as lectures and any other scheduled activities.

During the field studies, no student is to leave the group without the consent of the faculty supervisor, and punctual attendance at all field and on-campus meetings is required. Unless an absence is approved by one of the instructors or the program directors, students will lose 10% of their final grade for each day or part-day they fail to participate. Any unexcused absences or continued late arrival to program activities may, at the discretion of the Program Director, be grounds for dismissal from the program.

All modules and other assignments must be turned in at the start of the day due. Permission must be obtained in advance to turn in any assignment late. A standard policy of subtracting 10% per day late (or part of day late) is fair to everyone (students, instructors, and administration).

Academic honesty

All academic work must meet standards of academic honesty (as described in the Student Handbook). Each student is responsible for informing themselves about those standards before performing any academic work. Academic dishonesty is not just copying the work of others, but also includes such behaviors as tolerating the academic dishonesty of others or giving false reasons for failure to take a test.

Your signature on any exam or name printed on any assignment indicates your acceptance of the following policy: “I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this exam or assignment”. Please give due credit to other people’s ideas by referencing or quoting the source.

Conduct regulations

All students must be familiar with the general conduct regulations described in the Student Handbook. Below are other program-specific conduct regulations to which students must adhere. Failure to obey these policies may result in dismissal from the program, at the discretion of the Program Director.

Student Conduct in Accommodation: In hostels and backpackers it is generally accepted that you will be quiet in hallways and all common rooms after 9:30 p.m. Our program depends on goodwill between us and the accommodation owners and managers to be able to get priority bookings in busy seasons or small towns. If we have any issues with unpleasant or noisy conduct in the accommodations, it creates problems when we attempt to book for the students in the NEXT program. Thus, for the sake of the students that follow you, improper conduct in the accommodations that disturb other guests or the staff or cause damage are not acceptable and can be grounds for dismissal from the program. Note, New Zealanders especially find American voices to be very loud even when we don’t mean to be!

Conduct in the Field: Students must follow the instructions of staff exactly and promptly when in the field. This is a serious safety issue when we are doing outdoor activities in particular. Failure to follow instructions that incur actual or likely physical harm to self or others, or result in time wasted by the staff or other students may, at the discretion of the Program Director, be grounds for dismissal from the program.

Environmental awareness: One of our primary goals is to promote environmental stewardship and a personal responsibility for resource use and consumption. As a result, we expect all students to:

1. stay on trails and practice good trail etiquette;

2. avoid interaction with wildlife (including touching, feeding and holding wild animals), and refrain from picking or destroying vegetation; and

3. reduce waste and recycle.

Course assignments

1. Field modules, NZ Culture and geography quiz, and On-site ID quizzes (70%)

The field modules and supporting readings and materials are in the program manual. The modules relate what we learn in the classroom with field activities. Site quizzes will comprise part of the total module grade. Please note that field experts are available as resources to help students complete the module questions on their own, not to provide answers. There are 5 modules, with a total of 17 questions of equal value (the culture and geography quiz counts as 2 questions, and each of the two on-site quizzes count as 1 each)

2. Final exam (30%)

The final exam will be open book and comprehensive across the program, and may draw material from any reading, field exercises, lectures, or discussions. The exam will be comprised of a mixture of questions including multiple-choice, essay, short answer, etc. Sample essay questions for the exam include the following:

a) Briefly describe i) the important ecological relationships for one (1) of the places / regions that we visited on this course (e.g. Rotoiti, Abel Tasman National Park, etc.), and ii) the interruptions of those relationships caused by human-introduced species such as stoats, possums, wasps, pines, etc.

b) It could be suggested that New Zealand’s recent history has been one of ‘boom and bust’ as the human settlers (Maori and British) have moved from exploiting and exhausting one natural resource after another. Do you agree? Give examples.

c) What will it take for people like the proud citizens of the South Island of New Zealand to become a sustainable society? What sorts of experiences would lead them to engage in action for ecological stewardship and/or have different environmental values or practices? Are Maori perspectives an important component?

d) You have been hired by the tourism board of New Zealand to work as a sustainability consultant. What would you advise? (i.e. what would you recommend be maintained and strengthened, and what needs improvement?)
