The Sustainability Curriculum Consortium is pleased to announce in collaboration with The Foresight Lab a 4-week online course and practicum for faculty on an especially timely topic:
“Truth, Lies, Peace & Reconciliation: Teaching and Building Capacity to Deliver an Era of Social Equity & Justice”

This program is a hybrid synchronous and asynchronous short course and co-creative group collaboration for faculty and directors in Sustainability in Higher Education
Program Manager, Regenerative Design &
Regenerative Justice Cities Programs
Director, Regenerative Design & Head of Practice
Background:
The work of The Foresight Lab in forging peace & reconciliation outcomes, and guiding the transformation of municipal police departments through the craft of diplomacy is deep and broad. Their work in this domain directly contributes to their Vision of The Regenerative Economy: An engine driving consistent and inspiring, and measurable, gains in social, economic, and ecological well-being. This pioneering effort has led to successful social justice interventions in Ferguson, MO, Charleston, SC, Philadelphia, PA, Atlanta, GA, and Baltimore, MD, among many other communities. Program description, goals & outcomes:
Through this course, we will
1) Demonstrate how the tools of statecraft, or international diplomacy can transform policing, social justice dislocations, and breakdowns in community equity;
2) Deliver clear pedagogical guidance into how to teach across the social intervention platforms of diplomacy, systemics, and complexity science; and
3) convey to delegates the skills of advanced convening and conflict resolution as classroom tools and skills for next generation leaders.
Session themes:
-Introduction to Regenerative Development: Systemics & Social Change as Tools to Redress Broken Policing Models & Deliver Just Outcomes
-History of Reconciliation: Diplomacy on the Global Stage Catalyzing Peace & Unity
-Leadership & Character: The Spirit of Ubuntu, Honor, & Dignity as Foundations for Equity & Justice
-Power, Love, and Honor Within and Amongst Nations: Transmuting Battlefield Peace-Keeping into Communities and Nation States
Pedagogies presented:
-Teaching Techniques as Models of Diplomacy
-Emergent Learning: Pedagogical Design for Transformation
-Potent Inquiry: Teaching & Refining Radically Disruptive Critical Thinking Skills
-Fieldwork: A New Generation of Real-World Learning

The annual AASHE Conference which had been scheduled for Milwaukee on October 5-8, has been cancelled and, as a result, we have also cancelled the co-located SCC pre-conference “Curriculum Colloquium.”
Instead, AASHE is taking the event online with the Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education on October 20-22 and SCC is partnering with AASHE on the conference’s “curriculum” track.
Please see details and register HERE.
SCC will also be hosting a Faculty Meet-Up during the Global Conference, details to follow.
