Course Description:
This interdisciplinary capstone is designed to be a culminating experience for students interested in addressing the need for a more sustainable society. Students will examine the ecological, cultural, and social dimensions of a specific community or region, focusing on sustainability issues such as food security, renewable energy, conservation, sense of place, lost arts/creative arts, cultural traditions, narratives, and community resiliency. The instructor will provide an overarching research question; however, students will develop their own sub-questions that will serve as the basis for independent inquiry. Once students have completed their independent inquiry, they will work as a group to link and synthesize their findings as applied to the original research question or issue. Capstone.
