Re: [gep-ed] Readings on SDGs?

[Maniates, Michael Fields]

Hello all:  May I suggest that you send your suggestions directly to Jennifer, who will then compile them and send a summary out to us?  Doing so reduces traffic on the list and makes it easier to subsequently unearth these materials from the archive.
  My thanks, m

Dear all,



Happy Holidays!  It's that time of year again --  syllabus prep!



Does anyone have a suggestion for a good reading on the SDGs?  I'm looking for something that explains their evolution from the Millennium Development Goals, the political interests
 that explain the negotiations and if possible, something about their evaluation.



This is for an upper-level undergrad class.  All suggestions welcome, and I'm happy to compile and distribute if people are interested.



Thanks in advance!

Jessica

[gep-ed] solar energy opportunity for students

[Paul Wapner]

Dear Colleagues,

Here’s a chance for undergraduates to gain hands-on experience with solar 
energy.

RE-volv is an organization that finances and installs 
solar energy systems on the roofs of nonprofits.  Each year, RE-volv runs a 
Solar Ambassador Program in which 
students plan and implement a solar project for a nonprofit organization near 
campus (e.g., church, synagogue, food coop, social services organization).  
Students work in teams of 4-7 people and, under RE-volv’s guidance, steward a 
project from inception to installation.

RE-volv is now accepting applications for teams whose projects will begin in 
the Fall semester 2017 (application deadline: February 17, 2017).  Accepted 
teams will work on their projects throughout the academic year (2017-2018).

In addition to taking tangible action on climate change, students will gain 
in-depth knowledge of solar energy policy and organizational management, 
community relations, and crowdfunding skills.  RE-volv provides funding to 
bring Solar Ambassador team leaders to San Francisco in late August for 
training and runs an ongoing webinar for all teams throughout the year to guide 
projects and have teams share their experiences.  Click 
here for more information.

Our current cohort of Solar 
Ambassadors includes teams from 
Swarthmore College, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Dayton, 
University of Connecticut, University of New England, Coastal Carolina 
University, and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  RE-volv is looking for new 
teams to join the 2017-2018 cohort.

Could you please forward this email students and others in your department?  
Applications close on February 17, 2017. If you have any questions, please feel 
free to contact me (see signature, below).

Thank you so much!
Paul Wapner
