Sustainability Across the Curriculum Leadership Workshop - June 11-12 2009
Sustainability Across the Curriculum Leadership Workshop
June 11-12 (Thurs. - Fri.) 2009
San Diego State University
AASHE, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, is pleased to invite participation in a two-day workshop for faculty leaders of all disciplines who wish to develop curriculum change programs around sustainability on their campuses.
Through an intensive two days of presentations, exercises, discussions, reflection, and planning, participants will become familiar with the philosophy of change in higher education developed through the Ponderosa Project at Northern Arizona University and adapted at Emory in the Piedmont Project. Participants will also experience of range of workshop strategies, hear local experts, enjoy outdoor place-based activities, and dialogue with faculty from around the country as they gain help in adapting this model to their own campus. In a supportive and stimulating environment, workshop members will reflect on their own roles in the transformation of higher education. Readings and materials will also be provided.
These highly successful workshops are led by Geoffrey Chase of San Diego State University and Peggy Barlett of Emory University. Peggy and Geoff are editors of Sustainability on Campus: Stories and Strategies for Change, published by MIT Press in 2004. Peggy and Geoff have many years of experience leading these kinds of workshops and have helped more than 200 faculty around the country take steps toward curriculum innovation in their universities and colleges.
Workshop tuition is $420 for AASHE members and $485 for non-members. Tuition covers snacks and lunches on both days of the workshop, handouts, materials, and an evening reception on the first day of the workshop.
Applications are due by March 20 and are available at: http://www.aashe.org/profdev/curriculum.php

Canadian History & Environment Summer School 2009 - Ottawa, ON
Canadian History & Environment Summer School 2009
Announcement
NiCHE (Network in Canadian History and the Environment/ Nouvelle initiative canadienne en histoire de l'environnement) is pleased to announce plans for its fourth annual summer school to be held 22 May -24 May 2009 (prior to the annual meetings of the Canadian Historical Association and Canadian Association of Geographers) in Ottawa, Ontario.
Organized by Joanna Dean and Andrew Johnston, CHESS 2009 will focus on the role of the state in environmental history. We want to stimulate a wide-ranging exploration of the diverse ways the state both constructs and is constructed by the environment, from park creation, resource policy, agricultural development, biotechnology, to the cultural and symbolic role the land plays in the state's efforts to forge national identities. We will explore Mackenzie King's follies, how logging, preservation and recreation fought for control of the Gatineau Hills, the role art and museums played in trying to connect national narratives to the land, and the way agricultural research was seen as an expression of modernization. We also propose hosting a first ever panel on Canadian environmental history/historical geography and the media (with the participation of Bob McDonald host of CBC's Quirks and Quarks). Given our location in the nation's capital, the event will include field excursions to Gatineau Park and Central Experimental Farm, as well as featured lectures/ panels and small group discussions.
Spaces are limited, both for participation in the Summer School and in the residence rooms reserved for participants. As CHESS is intended to provide a forum for interaction between graduate students, post doctoral fellows, faculty members and others interested in historical approaches to the environment, we will seek to ensure appropriate representation from each of these categories.
All interested in participating in CHESS 2009 are invited to apply, by email, to Joanna Dean (joanna_dean@carleton.ca) BY 28 FEBRUARY 2009. Applications must include a very short CV, and a brief statement (about 50 words) indicating how the applicant hopes to benefit from participation in CHESS and what they will contribute to it. Places in the summer school will be allocated after consideration of these statements. Decisions will be communicated to applicants in early March.
NiCHE will cover the costs of three nights accommodation in St Paul University in Ottawa for all participants in the Summer School. There will also be funds available for partial contributions to travel costs for those in need. The amount of these funds and the formula for their distribution remain to be determined, but travel grants will not exceed $500. Successful applicants should seek other sources of funding to cover their costs of travel to Ottawa, as needed.
Joanna Dean & Andrew Johnston,
Department of History, Carleton University
