NSC 325 - Climate Change and Sustainability: Imagining the Future 3 Credit Hours
Can literature and art save the planet? What about scientific inquiry? In this course, you will use the methods of scientific inquiry to explore the concepts of climate change and sustainability, and you will apply these concepts to imagine both projected and alternative futures. You will read speculative fiction, scientific reports, and policy plans; you will conduct lab experiments related to the science of climate change; and you will work collaboratively to create both speculative and practical scenarios for a sustainable future. This is a team-taught course in which you will learn through readings, lectures, lab activities, and discussions, both in-class and online. It is also an interdisciplinary course, and the disciplinary principles and methods needed to complete the assignments will be fully covered in the course, making it appropriate for students from all majors.
