Flagstaff: Place, Space, and Change Over Time
Field Study: In this exercise, students will…
endeavor to explore, analyze, and
interpret the physical, cultural,
economic, and historical landscape of
Flagstaff using landmarks, structures,
and the overall urban environment as
primary sources.
• Ultimately, the goal is to juxtapose
the landscape as it is now with the
landscape as it was at various
times in the past with emphasis on
the idea of change over time.
How?• Students will engage in observational
fieldwork with the existing landscape while
simultaneously using primary source
analysis of photographic and written
records from the past to better understand
Flagstaff.
In creating their own final products, students must consider…
• Change over time!
• Original use, intended use, and current uses, purposes, and
significances of space and place
• Significance of place and space in terms of history, culture,
economics, perspective and usage…
– Natural vs. Cultural Landscape
– Local vs. Tourist interests
– Small business vs. Big business interests and influences
– Tradition vs. Modernity
– Intended vs. Unintended (use of space and significance of place)
• Multiple Use Concept!
How do I connect this back to the study of world
history/civilization studies as a whole?
