Welcome!
This course will explore the connections between uranium and the peoples of the
Southwest who live on the land where the uranium was extracted. Topics in
nuclear chemistry will include radioactive substances on our planet, uranium
mining and milling, the nuclear fuel cycle, radon, and the biological effects of radiation. Topics about the
Dineh (Navajo) will include the a cultural and geographical tour of the Four
Corners Area, the interconnections between spirituality, people and the
land, and public health issues relating to lung cancer. All information will be
presented against the backdrop of the Navajo people who mined the uranium,
unaware of its consequences. Learn more in the section below "About
the Course."
