Description:
With support from The Teaching & Learning Commons and the Office of Sustainability.
Come join us to learn about how the human body provides us with a sense of Geography. Did you know that places are named after body parts, and geographical concepts are based on them such as headlands and foothills? Want to find out how many paces you take to walk 100 meters? And what about your natural left or right drift when walking? Come join us for this ‘walkabout’ the campus to learn more, and commune with the landscape.
