Curriculum Enhancement
Faculty Climate Justice & Sustainability Curriculum Workshop
The Faculty Climate Justice & Sustainability Curriculum Workshop is designed to help faculty increase their awareness about the intersections of sustainability, climate change, and social justice issues and learn strategies for connecting these topics to core concepts in their own disciplines.
Additionally, participation in the workshop is a great way to support faculty who wish to apply for the Ukleja Center’s Ethics Across the Curriculum pedagogical stipend program by exploring opportunities to integrate the ethics of climate change and environmental justice into their courses.
#MakeClimateAClass — 1 Hour Segment Each Semester
The initiative is part of the project at Bard College’s Center for Environmental Policy, which encourages university, high school and K-8 educators to incorporate a one-hour discussion each semester about climate change solutions from their disciplinary perspective.
The initiative provides educators from over two-dozen disciplines with the following resources to successfully teach a one-hour class:
- ձ’s&Բ; featuring slide decks, podcasts, videos and more
- Access to a CA-specific Climate-Solutions webinar
Take the #MakeClimateChangeAClass today to learn more about how you can start integrating climate solutions into your discipline course(s).
Service Learning
Service learning allows students to connect theory and practice by working in the community —and with the community—to address on-the-ground issues. Some of the most useful and innovative solutions to sustainability challenges in our communities emerge when knowledge, resources, and enthusiasm are shared between our campus and our community partners.
䳧’s&Բ; is on a mission to “engage the university and community in creating a just and civil society where every member functions as an agent of social change.”
CCE helps students and faculty enrich the educational experience through Service Learning, Community-based Participatory Research, and Community Engagement efforts. Each of these strategies provides opportunities for students to become more civically engaged and personally invested in the work of building a more equitable, sustainable society.
