Teaching the Sustainability Imperative in ANY Class
Workshop at Bard College, November 1st
Calling all chemists, philosophers, economists, artists, mathematicians, anthropologists and everyone in between.
Here is a chance to involve your colleagues who care about the challenged future of the human project on this planet, and who are interested in creative solutions to the profound social and environmental challenges we face today, but who aren't quite sure how to talk about these critical issues in class.
Please invite them to join you at Bard College, Friday November 1st, from noon to five for a panel and workshop on sustainability in the classroom.
The afternoon workshop will be led by Dr. Pushpa Ramakrishna. Ramakrishna has been a leader in helping faculty from all disciplines learn to teach effectively about sustainability, helping drive widespread faculty engagement throughout her home institution, the Maricopa Community College system in Phoenix, one of the largest educational institutions in the country.
The workshop will be proceeded by a panel on sustainability and civic engagement, with Dr. Ramakrishna, and Bard's Laurie Husted and Erin Canaan (Bard Office of Sustainability and Center for Civic Engagement, respectively), and moderated by Bard CEP Director, Eban Goodstein. What are best practices for designing internships and practica that can help students become sustainability leaders?
There is no charge for the workshop. To register, please e-mail Josephine French at jofr...@bard.edu.
