As the final week of ENVR 430 comes to a close, I'm reminded of just how much ground we covered. From fashion to death to fire, we managed to discuss a lot in just thirteen short weeks, with every week having some sort of impact on my thinking. At the start of the semester, I didn't really know what to expect. I'd known that this was an environmental activism course, but within the first few weeks as the scope of the course grew wider and wider and came to cover social justice, personal responsibility and water, I realized that this course was one of a kind.
I thought the format of this course suited its multifaceted content really well. Having weekly posting sessions where we had to share our thoughts results in some really thought-provoking write-ups that changed my perspective. I also thought using the final project as a culmination of our learning worked well, and I had a lot of fun with the open ended nature of the project. Overall, I had a great time in ENVR 430, and I seriously can't recommend this course enough. Thank you again to Kai, Dana, and all of my classmates for making this such a worthwhile journey. #Unleashvalues
I totally agree with you, integration of ideas is so vital for environmental sciences. Ignoring the intersectionality of everything erases so much nuance and creates incomplete and broken systems of change
Yes, I also definitely appreciated the wide scope of this course!
Hi Adam!
I completely agree this course was definitely a course I will remember for the rest of my life. It allowed me to be more aware of what the companies and governments are doing to the environment and what they can get away with. I also agree that the weekly write-ups were not limiting and allowed for everyone to tap into their own creative minds and come up solutions that are separate from the ones Kai brought up.
Good post! Our view expand about environmental issue in the class.
