Overview of class

We are living in times of rapid socio-ecological change, systemic destabilization, and sociocultural unrest. Changing climates, environmental degradation, linguistic and cultural genocide, and unsustainable nature-culture relations necessitate new and imaginative ways of seeing, knowing, and being in the world. These challenges present opportunities and responsibilities to consider what forms of education are needed, for whom, in what places, and towards what ends. This course will ground students in several core domains of research on human learning, decision making, and world making. Further the course will integrate design research as a key method that cultivates new possibilities in learning.
