I would be very grateful for suggestions concerning good texts and/or course syllabi to help in planning a new undergraduate class in a sustainable development major. Other courses already focus on economics and natural science. This one needs to cover the major social science building blocks, ideally with a heavy emphasis on ethics. Fifty years from now I imagine we'll be calling this class "political theory and sustainable development," but for now it lacks a cogent title and a clear corpus. The major is interdisciplinary, so it is fine (in fact preferred) if the readings come from a broad range of home disciplines -- religion, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, political science, etc.
Thanks. I'm happy to share the compiled results. Marc Marc Levy Deputy Director, CIESIN Earth Institute / Columbia University
