On this episode of Capital Chat, Cliff talks with UAS Outdoor Studies Director and philosophy professor Kevin Krein, English professor Kevin Maier, and recent graduate Sage Chavez about how the University of Alaska Southeast is blending outdoor skills with big academic questions.
They discuss UAS courses that take students from the classroom into the field, including Mountain Studies, Salmon, Sport and Society, rock climbing, backpacking, sea kayaking, fly fishing, avalanche education and outdoor leadership.
Sage shares how the Mountain Studies course helped her learn to ski for the first time and how outdoor experiences may shape her future work in therapy. The conversation also explores why slowing down, thinking clearly and using your head may be one of the most important survival tools in the outdoors.
A look at outdoor education, personal growth and the unique learning opportunities available in Juneau through UAS.
