Sustainability Across the Curriculum Leadership Workshop
June 12-13 (Thurs-Fri), 2008
San Diego State University, San Diego, CA
AASHE, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher
Education, is pleased to invite participation in a two-day workshop for
faculty leaders of all disciplines who wish to develop curriculum change
programs around sustainability on their campuses.
Through an intensive two days of presentations, exercises, discussions,
reflection, and planning, participants will become familiar with the
philosophy of change in higher education developed through the Ponderosa
Project at Northern Arizona University and adapted at Emory in the
Piedmont Project. Participants will also experience of range of workshop
strategies, hear local experts, enjoy outdoor place-based activities, and
dialogue with faculty from around the country as they gain help in
adapting this model to their own campus. In a supportive and stimulating
environment, workshop members will reflect on their own roles in the
transformation of higher education. Readings and materials will also be
provided.
These highly successful workshops are led by Geoffrey Chase of San Diego
State University and Peggy Barlett of Emory University. Peggy and Geoff
are editors of Sustainability on Campus: Stories and Strategies for
Change, published by MIT Press in 2004. Peggy and Geoff have many years of
experience leading these kinds of workshops and have helped more than 200
faculty on several campuses revise courses in a wide array of disciplines.
Workshop tuition is $350 for AASHE members and $390 for non-members.
Tuition covers snacks and lunches on both days of the workshop, handouts,
materials, and an evening reception on the first day of the workshop.
Applications are due by March 28, 2008 and are available at:
