SUMMARY:Fleshy Fungi of the Southern Blue Ridge
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Andy Methven (Eastern Illinois University\, Emeritus) \n\nStudents will be introduced to the fleshy fungi (Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes) that occur on the Highlands Plateau. Emphasis will be placed on the analysis of macro- and micro-morphological features in the identification of genera and species as well as the ecological role of fungi in the ecosystem. Additional topics may be added depending on student interest. The daily routine will consist of a morning lecture followed by a field trip until early afternoon. Collections will be examined and identified after returning from the field and an opportunity provided to assemble a collection of dried fleshy fungi. Microscopes and chemical reagents necessary for accurate species determinations will be available for use. The laboratory will be open in the evenings for additional study of collections. \nPre-requisites: Introductory biology\, ecology\, or permission of instructor \n\nFor more information\, visit https://highlandsbiological.org/summer-2023-academic-courses/.

SUMMARY:Zahner Lecture 8
DESCRIPTION:Lecture 8 – Archaeoastronomy in Southwestern North Carolina\n\nFeatured Speakers: Jane M. Eastman\, Ph.D.; Associate Professor; Anthropology and Sociology Department; Western Carolina University\n& Brett Riggs\, Ph.D.; Sequoyah Distinguished Professor of Cherokee Studies; Western Carolina University \nDate: Thursday\, August 3rd\nTime: 6pm – 7pm\nCost: FREE \nSponsored by Suzanne & Don Duggan\, Julie Farrow\, Florence & Tom Holmes\, Ruthie & Franko Oliver\, Adele & Nick Scielzo\, and Margaret Waters. \nIn ancient Cherokee perspective\, the matters of this world\, the Above World and the Beneath World intertwine\, and Cherokee peoples constructed ritual landscapes to engage the beings and forces of these realms. Recent investigations in the Little Tennessee River Valley have revealed one such landscape that marks astronomical phenomena and bespeaks sophisticated systems for measuring calendrical time and the cycles central to Cherokee life. These patterns indicate complex observational sciences that guided functions of indigenous societies long before European contact.

SUMMARY:Writing the Appalachians
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Sylvia Torti\, University of Utah \nIn this 5-day workshop we will explore the ways that notions of “nature” and “the self” intersect through writing\, and we’ll do so embedded in the fabulous Appalachian Mountains. \nUsing the text Mountains Piled upon Mountains: Appalachian Nature Writing in the Anthropocene edited by Jessica Cory\, we’ll learn the basic elements of good storytelling through reading and discussion. And then we’ll embark on our own generative storytelling from our personal lives\, history and experiences at Highlands Biological Station. \nEach day will consist of an invigorating combination of: walks\, plant and animal identification\, discussion of texts\, workshopping of your work (previously submitted) and time to write. We’ll finish the week with a reading open to the HBS community. \nNo later than August 1: Email instructor with 10 pages of double-spaced writing (sylvia.torti@utah.edu). I cannot guarantee that I can review and comment on your work if I don’t receive it by August 1st. \nYou will be assigned one reading from the Cory book to read per instructions prior to August 7. \nCost: $500 course fee + $300 housing fee (strongly encouraged) \nFor more information\, visit https://highlandsbiological.org/summer-workshops/.
