This seminar provides upper-level Environmental Studies majors with a forum for synthesizing insights from multiple disciplines to reflect on the philosophical and pragmatic underpinnings of environmental citizenship. This course prepares students for the SMP. Students will integrate the work of leading environmental thinkers to identify which theories and techniques are appropriate for addressing particular environmental questions. In preparation to enter the workforce, advance new knowledge, and foster cultural understanding and cooperation, the seminar will incorporate the ethical principles of effective communication and explore how to manage uncertainty in environmental decision-making. We will ask critical questions about contributing to the common good in local, national, and global communities. This course is open to ENST majors. Prerequisite: ENST 100 and junior level standing or permission of the instructor.
Applied Sustainability Practicum
This course carefully considers sustainability. Class sessions will combine seminar style discussion of classic and cutting edge readings in the history, contemporary context, and challenge of global environmental issues with hands-on workshops to advance student-initiated local projects in critical environmental topics. Students will work independently and in groups on research, writing assignments, presentations, creative projects, and a web presence focused on interdisciplinary solutions to pressing environmental issues. Suitable subjects include energy management, food systems, social justice, conservation ecology, campus sustainability, natural disasters and resilience, climate change adaptation, and other student interests. Students will develop important skills in self-directed learning, build partnerships across campus and the community, and engage in applied problem-solving. Pre-requisites: ENST 100, ENST 233, ENST 280, or permission of instructor.
