Overview
The James Hutton's Edinburgh from The University of Edinburgh combines both classroom sessions with two short excursions, will give an overview of Hutton’s life and work, and an opportunity to walk in his footsteps through Holyrood Park and the city centre, to appreciate how his ideas came from the landscape he lived in.
This course will feature field trips to locations in or around Edinburgh (your teacher will confirm the itinerary in class).
Any recommended reading will be advised by the course teacher once the course is confirmed to run. You will require access to a computer or other device with internet connection.
If you have fully engaged with all the learning activities and have attended regularly, by the end of the course you should be able to:
- Understand how James Hutton’s background, genius and location provided the foundation for the development of his ideas
- Develop observational and analytical skills to interpret features in the rocks and landscape of Edinburgh that were used to support these ideas
- Explain the significance of Hutton’s work in the development of scientific thought, and demonstrate an increased awareness of the contributions of minoritised individuals associated with his work.
