Course Description

Building a sustainable future requires restructuring the global economy and changes in values and lifestyles. How do race, culture, gender, class, and individual experience inform sustainability priorities? How do internalized notions of power and success compliment or undermine our societal efforts towards sustainability? Students explore these questions through four arenas for change: food, governance, economics, and energy.
