UW-Stevens Point/Cornell University: Online Course: EE a Transdisciplinary Approach to Addressing Wicked Problems
Course overview The goal of this course is to create an environmental education “trading zone”—an online space where scholars and students gather to learn about multiple disciplines that shed light on how to improve environmental quality and change environmental behaviors. Each of the lectures, readings, discussions, and case studies will focus on the implications of a particular discipline for environmental education, as well as what environmental education has to contribute to related disciplines and sectors. Learn about how environmental education, environmental governance, environmental psychology, environmental sociology and other disciplines can work together to address ‘wicked problems,’ not readily addressed by working in disciplinary silos. Timeline for Next Offering: Feb.1 -April 24, 2016 Certificate: Cornell University will grant a PDF certificate of completion at no cost to students. University Credits: University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point will offer undergraduate/graduate credits for a fee. Details see the registration form. Course and Registration Information
