SUST670

The purpose of the Expert Practitioner Series is to give students an opportunity to participate in a seminar with experienced sustainability practitioners.

Each practitioner has their own portfolio--their history, their projects, their skills, their qualities. What are these qualities? What are their particulr gifts and strengths?

Each practitioner works in a context, although they may have switched contexts multiple times. What are the attributes of each context and how do they differ or occur in parallel? Does the practitioner work at the grass roots? From the top down? In the marketplace?

Each practitioner works with certain content relating to sustainability. What is the content aspect of their practice? Is it narrow or broad? Is it based on technology or social process? Are they technical or local experts?

This course will follow a format of 50% online discussion and 50% in-class lectures.
