About the FIG:
Who goes to museums? What can you learn in museums? This FIG is an investigation of who goes to museums and what happens in the museum. Museums are transforming and becoming more and more involved with their communities. Their walls are developing into a magical invitation to come in, rather than an barrier to stay out . The two main museums on campus—Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural and Cultural History—will be the main laboratory for this investigation. Students will visit several times both museums and meet with their staff to better understand how museums get involved with their communities and how communities get involved with museums. They offer a wonderful place for engagement and education where everyone is invited and welcome to learn about the world through the arts and natural history.
PPPM 205 Intro to City Planning - CoreEd or major satisfying course
Introduction to City Planning introduces students to the field of city planning an academic discipline that synthesizes a diverse set of fields, thinks about how the world should ideally be, then figures out how to move in that direction. The course will cover a range of focal areas in the field of planning including: physical and land use planning, public health, housing, community development, social equity, environmental planning and transportation planning. The purpose of the course is to give students a general context of what planning is, the topics it deals with, and to convey that the way cities are designed and function is lively and everchanging. Ultimately, the purpose of this course is to inspire students to see that the field of city planning is a mechanism to make the world a better place.
