SALI 201: Intro to the Salish Sea Syllabus (2022)

SALI syllabus from Spring 2022 at Whatcom Community College

Fish Farming in the Salish Sea: A Discussion of Five Perspectives

This activity is designed to provide students with differing perspectives on the future of salmon within the Salish Sea using interview data with different stakeholders in the region.

Species Story

A species story combines factual information about a species in the Salish Sea with storytelling skills. By using story, students move from a report- or research-mode to describe the natural world into a humanistic sharing of knowledge of a being in its place and context.

Embodied Mapping

Students will deepen their knowledge of Salish Sea geography by creating a collective embodied map of assigned places.

Map Library Visit

Students will engage their Salish Sea learning from different disciplinary perspectives through engaging with maps at a series of stations at the Map Collection.

Salish Sea Reflection Journal

A compendium of maps, resources, syllabus information, and reflection prompts, the Reflection Journal offers students and instructors a guide for sharing learning, questions, and ideas about Salish Sea Studies.
