T3 4850 - Sustainability Citizenship
Sustainability challenges of the 21st century require us to meet the needs of the present while safeguarding Earth’s life-support systems on which the welfare of current and future generations depends. These challenges call for the reinvention of citizenship. Conventional models of citizenship are inadequate for tackling the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability problems; do not match the realities of social-ecological systems; and provide little guidance for addressing equity within and between generations. In this multidisciplinary course students will investigate changing citizenship norms; the core principles of sustainability citizenship; and the practice of sustainability citizenship in the private and public spheres from the local to the global levels.
