Description:
|
Environmental Change is a course taught every spring and fall. This opportunity involves the creation of interdisciplinary podcasts that highlight applied research perspectives from faculty across campus. Students will be asked to assist in identifying and drafting topics and questions for podcasts, as well as identifying and recruiting faculty to participate. Podcasts will be focused on incorporating discussion of cultural discourse topics (e.g. power, authority, bias, etc.) into topics on environmental change, utilizing a systems perspective to highlight the complexities of feedback loops and trade-offs.
