  • EA 110 SC - Experiencing Sustainability

    Our course will open new perspectives about sustainability and encourage students to build new tools to advance the field of sustainability with specific focus on the environment.  The ways in which humanity has approached sustainability have not appropriately addressed this complexity in the past, bringing us to a critical place in the present. This course will examine the benefits and limitations of past and current siloed approaches, deploying the methodologies of transdisciplinary inquiry. The course consists of several modules of activity- and experience-based learning. Service-learning components will invite students to experience radical social agency, and promote empathy and community engagement.
    Topics investigated will include: contemplative pedagogy’s first-person inquiry, bringing it into relation with the second- and third-person inquiry that are typically more valorized modes in academia; community-engaged performance projects and activated spectatorship (Boal’s ‘spectactor’ and participatory action research); transdisciplinary re-framing; systems-level analysis; complexity theory; action research and applied research; and artistic/scientific integration. In addition to some didactic and theoretical presentations, every class session will also involve student work in smaller groups.
