LAS 248 - Facing the Future in a Changed World Credit Hours 3
How can humans flourish in a world remade by climate change and ecological breakdown? In 2018, sustainability expert Jem Bendell argued that we must focus on resilience (“how do we keep what we really want to keep?”), relinquishment (“what do we need to let go of in order to not make matters worse?”), and restoration (“what can we bring back to help us with the coming difficulties and tragedies?”). More recently, Pope Francis has said that current efforts to change human behavior in response to the climate crisis fall far short of what is needed. In this seminar, you will draw on knowledge and skills from many different sources to propose plans for resilience, relinquishment, and restoration on the Dominican campus, in surrounding communities, and in the world at large, and you will explore how local and global actions are linked.
Prerequisite(s): Sophomore standing.
