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 2022.  First taught in winter 2021, this year it is co-facilitated by Dr.’s Heather Price (North Seattle College) and Alex Turner (UW ATM S).

The interactive, results-driven workshop will consist of four 1.5-2 hour meetings spread over the 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 instructors 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 be for 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 to 500 level.  Additional detail in this flyer.

To maintain a creative safe space where everyone has the chance to interact, the workshop will be limited to 10 faculty. This year we are able to accommodate 2 faculty from outside the College of the Environment.  We are especially interested in faculty participants from a broad range of departments 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 submitting your new course content and implementation plan for the Canvas Commons, Climate Justice Curriculum Repository and/or our PCC UW Pressbook of open educational resources.  Preference given to applications received on or before Dec. 10.
