is currently working to develop new curriculum, specifically,
a major field of study in Sustainable Communities. The major will be designed to prepare students
to understand the concept of a sustainable community and to be engaged
in the development and definition of the interplay between sustainability
and civic engagement.
The major will
require a substantial research project, done collaboratively
between students and a sponsoring faculty member.
The research will be applied, with strong policy implications.
Each research project will take place during the student's senior
year, although many will be initiated during the second semester
of their junior year.
Students must take an interdisciplinary approach, while also
demonstrating an ability to bring to bear a key methodology (biology,
history, statistics, economics, sociology, chemistry, etc.) as a
centerpiece of the analysis.
A limited number of projects will receive funding support from the
Center and will be considered for publication in the Center's on-line
Occasional Papers Series.
