*Maps of Meaning: Creating a Sense of Place Map* * *This course provides participants with an opportunity to develop sense of place mapping skills and explore Portland’s foodscapes. We will investigate how mapping dimensions of human-environment interactions helps individuals to understand their relationships with place and can be a useful tool for a diversity of groups looking to document and protect or change their landscape. (Priority registration by June 14 or earlier if workshop has filled.) Prerequisite: none.
