Practice of Environmentalism: Galapagos Islands

Here is some information about a Spring course that I'll be co-teaching. The course is titled "The Practice of Environmentalism," and includes a two-week visit to the Galapagos Islands.

Academic Information

This 6-credit program brings together faculty and students in environmental science, international politics, and media production to forge an interdisciplinary approach to environmental issues. The experience in the Galapagos Islands is the fieldwork component of the semester-long spring course titled, The Practice of Environmentalism: Science, Policy, and Communication. Students spend the spring semester learning field research methods, policy analysis, documentary communication techniques, and other relevant skills designed to give a broad understanding of and engagement with particular environmental challenges. During the summer fieldwork course, they produce multi-faceted projects that highlight their interdisciplinary learning. The Program is jointly offered by SIS, SOC, and CAS.

Note that all applications for the course are due November 2.
