People and Protected Areas (3) LARCH 499E is a three-credit seminar that aims to introduce students to key issues associated with communities, community design, biodiversity conservation, and the interface of people and conservation in the vicinity of Udzungwa Mountains National Park in south-central Tanzania. The format of the course is reading and discussion, where students read assigned literature and then contribute to discussions led by faculty, both to demonstrate their understanding of the reading assignments and to begin to explore key issues introduced by those readings. Students also write two papers, the first examining the interface of rural land use planning, community design, and biodiversity conservation; and the second focusing on biodiversity conservation in the context of human settlement near Udzungwa Mountains National park. Student evaluation is based on seminar participation and the two papers.

Studio: Community Design in the Vicinity of Udzungwa Mountains National Park (5) LARCH 499F is a five-credit course that focuses on student research projects associated with communities along the eastern boundary of Udzungwa Mountains National Park. We have purposefully maintained a general definition for the course to allow students to design projects that best suit their interests and skills. For example, some students may focus on evaluating existing village configurations and propose new designs that help villagers better meet their daily needs. Other students, in turn, may focus on developing a more marketable park that attracts larger numbers of visitors who stay in or near the park for longer periods of time - generating more income that ultimately will find its way, in part, to local communities.

Colloquium: The Contribution of Service-Learning to Students and Community (1) LARCH 499G is a one-credit course designed to enable students to reflect on what for most will be their first opportunity to visit and work in rural East Africa. It involves the development of daily journals to record reflections on their evolving awareness of Tanzania and the challenges that people and conservation face in this less-developed country. The journals provide a foundation for reflections about one or more issues that interest each - maybe (though not necessarily) something close to the focus of the specific education abroad experience involved (e.g., the relationship between people and protected areas in south-central Tanzania), maybe international development in general, or maybe another topic. The journals also should be important personally: in all likelihood, this six-week period will expose students to places, people, and challenges that they have never seen in person.
