Description:

Courses in this colloquium series examine pressing 21st century problems related to the intersection of social, economic, and environmental systems. Given the complexity of 21st century problems, students will engage literature and perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, public health, and other domains. Students will make sense of and offer possible creative solutions to interlinked issues such as environmental institutional sexism and racism, climate change, biodiversity loss, the tragedy of the commons, inequitable distribution of wealth, and queerphobia. Students will discuss creative problem solving, systems thinking, analytical reasoning, and interdisciplinary thinking and how these may equip students to advocate for resiliency and solutions to these problems. Colloquium courses are writing and reading intensive, discussion-based, and interdisciplinary in nature.
