Interdisciplinary Class

Discovering the Rio Grande Valley: The Natural and Cultural History of South Texas
UTRGV Edinburg Campus

Fall 2019

Students will experience a combination of classroom and “field” activities. During the first months of the semester, CHAPS Program team members will meet with students and provide instruction in the form of lectures, reading discussion, documentaries, workshops, or related formats. The latter part of the semester will be used to conduct off-campus activities, though there might be classroom meetings as well. The main project will consist of conducting the following research on the Houts family and its property: oral history, archeological research, land ownership/title, GIS mapping, and biological research. Students will receive guidance from the lead instructor as well as the team of faculty who will assist throughout the semester.
