Re: [gep-ed] Course assistance?

Hi Katey (and others),

Apologies for self-promotion but you might consider using a reader that Simon 
Nicholson and I published a few years ago, GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS: FROM 
PERSON TO PLANET (Routledge).  We carefully curated and edited some of the 
'greatest hits' in global environmental affairs and organized the volume 
precisely for courses seeking an overview.  It includes sections describing the 
scope of global environmental dangers, causes of environmental harm, and the 
role of states, markets, and civil society in perpetuating and responding to 
environmental challenges.  It also includes sections on strategic thinking and 
the role of imagination to help students figure out meaningful ways to get 
involved.  Chapter authors include: Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben, Elizabeth 
Kolbert, Robert Bullard, Wendell Berry, Sunita Narain, Jennifer Clapp, Peter 
Dauvergne, and many more.  Finally, the book has various exercises for students.

For some reason, the volume is on sale at Amazon for $20 (paperback).  You can 
check it out at:

Thanks,
Paul

Greetings.
My name is Katey Foster and it’s been nearly 15 years since I last posted.  
I was an adjunct lecturer in Global Environmental Policy, Environmental Ethics, 
and Green Political Theory at Juniata College in PA after finishing my MA in 
International Environmental Policy from Keele University, Staffordshire, 
England.

It’s been a long hiatus and I am so excited to be considering a 200-level 
Environmental Policy and Globalization course at Champlain College this coming 
Spring.  I have been a bit out of the loop over the years and am looking 
forward to the challenge of designing a syllabus for this course and I’m asking 
for your help!  

I would love any recommendations for texts to consider, class exercises 
etc.  Really anything you have time and passion to share, I’ll be delighted to 
pour over.  When I was at Juniata College, someone on Gep-ed shared a 
student-led simulation of a UN water trade negotiation which I used with great 
success.  Students became stake holders (countries, npos, utilities) and 
negotiated their way through a water trade of sorts. 

I love offering hands-on/experiential learning opportunities…I’m also 
interested in any articles or journals I can be looking at in preparation for 
teaching this course.  Any thoughts, ideas, readings, movies/documentaries you 
might direct me to would be so appreciated.

I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions as I go. I thank you for your 
time and any offerings you may have here.

It feels so great to be getting back to this important work.

All the best,

Katey Foster 
Burlington, VT
