Emeritus Studies Program:

THE CALL OF THE WILD
“We need the tonic of wildness,” Thoreau told us sitting in his little hut by Walden Pond. From a past where the wild was ever-present to a day where it’s hard to find, people have longed for what the unknown and untamed offer, even—or especially? -- when it presents almost overwhelming hardship or dangers.

In this class, we’ll read stories of women and men past and present who have acted on that longing. Using Thoreau and others (especially some poets), we’ll begin our first class with questions about what the wild might include and what it offers to those who seek it.
