Climate and Environmental Justice Course Development Workshop-Winter 2021
The Program on Climate Change and the Program on the Environment, with additional support from the College of the Environment, are sponsoring a Climate and Environmental Justice course development workshop during winter quarter 2021 led by Dr. Heather Price.
The interactive, results-driven workshop will consist of four 1.5-2 hour meetings spread over winter quarter. Faculty participants will have the opportunity to gain both content and pedagogical experience in service of tuning their course(s) towards inclusion of Climate/Environmental Justice topics, with time for feedback and interaction from the instructor and colleagues. Workshop time will be explicitly devoted to course/curricular work, so that everyone will have developed course materials by the end of the quarter.
Thinking this might not be you? Suitable courses need not be ones already focused on environmental justice; the goal is to embed this topic broadly into the curricula of multiple units, from the 100 level to the 500 level.
To maintain a creative safe space where everyone has the chance to interact, the workshop will be held to 10 faculty. We are especially interested in faculty participants across all units in the College, with the majority being tenure-line faculty. To help defray the time and effort in curricular development, each attendee will receive a $500 stipend for full participation in 4 sessions and for uploading your finalized lesson/assignment/module to the Canvas Commons Repository. The deadline to apply is Dec. 1.
