Biographical/Historical Note

The Program incorporates a curriculum that emphasizes the understanding of the natural world in the contexts of history, science, politics, law, economy, religion, and the arts. The location of the college provides an excellent location for environmental studies in coordination with the college facilities including the Coastal Studies Center, the Bowdoin Pines, and the Bowdoin Scientific Station on Kent Island. The coordinate major is a feature unique to the environmental studies because it allows students to incorporate a second disciplinary major of their choice. The minor consists of five courses, but one must be taken outside the department.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
