The course consists of a series of (interactive) lectures, mini seminars, tutorials and self study assignments. In addition, the course includes a group assignment and a group project. In the lectures, seminars and self study assigments, the theoretical background of the relationship of humans and nature in the present, past and future will be discussed. Special attention will be given to palaeoreferences and in particular to the methodological aspects of research into palaeoreferences as well as to the content of the historical relationship between humans and nature. During the tutorials any uncertainties may be raised and any questions asked. The course concludes with a group project where the theory has to be translated into a concrete situation. During the project, you work in a fixed group on a vision for reconstruction of the Ooijpolder, located in the Dutch river area.
