In particular, it studies this relationship within the country being studied by EnviroLab Asia in the academic year. The course introduces students to a cross-disciplinary approach to study this relationship by exposing students to methodologies in humanities and social sciences as well as the history of country. The cross-disciplinary training will prepare students for a Clinic Trip at the end of the semester in which the students will travel to the country being studied to carry out research on the ground where they will apply their learned methodologies. Also listed as HIST 160 CM .
