COURSE DESCRIPTION The Orphaned Land is a graduate-level research seminar on New Mexico’s history of environmental contamination and related issues. With seminar participants forming a research peer group, each student will settle on a single topic and explore it in depth throughout the semester. V.B. Price, the seminar’s instructor, will continue some of his own on-going environmental research in the context of the seminar. We will support each other, report back on our findings, share research methods and successes, and explore ways to break down barriers to information gathering.
