S_D 3800 - Voices in Sustainable Development (3) [WID]

When Offered: On Demand
GEN ED: Junior Writing in the Discipline (WID)
This course examines landmark texts and traditions of thought in the field of sustainable development. Students examine how authors take up and interweave central threads of thinking and action in the fields of development and environmental protection. We pay special attention to the lived experiences of people who struggle for self-determination and justice across multiple scales of socio-ecological life. Selected texts highlight the influence of diverse voices in discourses of sustainable development as they explore concepts such as identity and belonging, the good life, writing as a form of political engagement, and the role of language and culture in shaping habits of mind.
Prerequisites: R_C 2001 or its equivalent and junior standing or permission of the instructor.
