Hi all, I have been dragooned into designing and teaching a course about institutional/campus sustainability at Dear Old UMass Dartmouth. The basic idea is to examine the nuts and bolts of moving toward a more sustainable society (or not) by using the university, and its broader political, economic, social, and natural environment, as a model. I imagine this will involve lots of traipsing about to see boilers, trash, and recycling as well as the activities of various decisionmaking bodies on campus (Look! There's the Provost doing laps in the pool!)
Have any of you taught a class like this before? If so, I sure would like to take a look at your syllabi, and to benefit from any other cautionary advice that you might wish to share. Thanks, Rob Assistant Professor of Political Science Associate Director of the Honors Program University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
