University of Richmond course studies birds and birdwatchers
Original: On this University of Richmond syllabus: Watching the birds — and the bird watchers
The University of Richmond is offering a course whose syllabus covers both observing birds and observing the people who watch them. The class, highlighted by the university, treats birdwatching as a subject of study in itself, examining the culture and behaviour of birders alongside the birds. It has drawn attention as an unusual entry in undergraduate course catalogues.
Why now: An unconventional university course blending biology and the sociology of birdwatching is catching public interest.
