Our modern surroundings are the outcome of human/natural-world interactions that have produced the present complex environment upon which we depend. Landscape remains the basis of our economic development – its form reflecting not only geological processes, but also the human lives which have harnessed vegetation, soil, rock and water as a resource. This Online Course will focus on the economic and cultural activities of the people who shaped the landscape of southern England over the last million years, to build an appreciation of how the modern landscape came into being, and the role technology and culture played in that development. It is designed for interested adult learners with no prior knowledge assumed.The course will be delivered online. Online Course:Six double-sessions run on Thursdays from 10.30am to 12.30pm, starting from 6 May 2021.Full details of dates, times and content for each session can be found on Eventbrite.
