The
River City Project: Sustainability Across the Curriculum Workshop is focused on creating the space for faculty to ideate how to incorporate the practice and principles of sustainability into their curriculum through exploring various sustainability frameworks, networking with others, placed based education, and through interdisciplinary collaboration.
Participating faculty will attend two full day workshops held May 7th and 8th, 2024, hosted by UR’s Office for Sustainability, and will primarily meet on campus in addition to experiential trips off campus. Through design exercises and discussion centered on local-to-global sustainability issues and challenges, participants will develop a shared understanding of sustainability, explore sustainability competencies and pedagogy, cultivate a justice lens, and develop or enhance their sustainability worldview. Participants will receive a stipend for attending the two-day workshop.
Following the two-day workshop in May, participants will continue to meet as a cohort or the following year. The River City Project cohort will convene for quarterly meetings the following September, November, January, and March for continued dialogue. Following completion of the year-long cohort, participants will receive an additional stipend.
This application form will only take a few minutes to fill out. Please reach out to Daniel Hart at dhart@richmond.edu with any questions, and thank you for interest in sustainability education!
