This course utilizes a global framework to situate sustainability. Weaving environmental, developmental, cultural, historical, political, psychological, philosophical and economic perspectives to understand sustainability, we will investigate the complex nature of global crises now confronting humankind and the natural world. Working cooperatively, students will research and present global solution sets for these manifold problems. Students will address these complex global problems by acting locally and by working with a community partner on a local issue. Examples include food security, public health, personal wellbeing, biodiversity.
