Climate change and sustainability are critical concerns for the future of human civilizations. Incorporating these concepts and approaches into higher education curricula can be as simple as adding a field trip, module or case study to your course syllabus. This workshop will provide peer-to-peer support for faculty who wish to add sustainability or climate change education to an existing course. We will brainstorm pedagogical approaches, share suggestions and resources. Faculty from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Participants are required to bring a syllabus to update.Description: Attend this innovative workshop where indigenous faculty members and Knowledge Holders will gather with faculty who are focused on sustainability education.
