This is a community service/field work course.
Sustainability: Environment, Economy, & Society (UC Berkeley’s Spring 2008 ESLP course) takes an integrative approach to learning. The course hosts renowned authors, educators, and thinkers from diverse fields of knowledge and backgrounds. Lecture is followed by a guided discussion intended to incorporate students' reflections on speakers and short weekly readings.
An optional hands-on approach is emphasized through Action Research Team (ART) project participation, in which students initiate projects or involve themselves in on-going community projects with focuses such as public transportation awareness, sustainable food systems, energy consumption and reduction, waste reduction and prevention (e.g. e-waste recycling education), environmental education, and green building/design.
The course intends to empower students to reflect upon, explore, share, and implement principles of sustainability, and to use sustainability as a tool to analyze and change the world in which we live.
