21 June. Campus Sustainability Tour.

Housekeeping
- 1. Thanks for your hard work yesterday: Really nice work yesterday! Thanks for your careful participation and great comments during discussion.
- 2. Events: For students in the SLS Equity and Sustainability Track, please attend as many events as possible.
For students in the other tracks or no track, you are welcome to attend the SLS events. SLS events, such as Ryan Gravel’s talk tonight, will provide you with opportunities to take photos and video you can use in your poster and video projects. Events such as tomorrow’s workshop on infrastructure, the reflection workshop (July 24), and the final Showcase (July 25), will help develop your projects.
Students in the other tracks can talk with me about incorporating the other track activities and your disciplinary interests into your course projects.
Some Images and Video of the events will be available for you to use in your projects if necessary.
- 3. Reading: Buy WOVENText in time to complete the reading assignment for Monday. Check out the reading questions for those pages, video drafts can be as rough or complete as choose for Monday’s workshop, and read the Caradonna chapter, which is in Canvas.
- 4. Office Hours: If you want to meet to discuss the video or have any questions about the course, I am free after class today and Monday.
Campus Sustainability Tour
- 1.The goal of Poster, which is due next Thursday, is to “Illustrate a key concept from one or more of our theoretical readings (Caradonna, Morton, or Sheldon) through a local or national development issue of your choice.”
- 2. Jeremy Caradonna, for example, argues that “sustainability” is “a desire to create a society that is safe, stable, prosperous, and ecologically minded,” as well as sets of corrective policies, developments, ideas that are directly tied to counterbalancing climate change (3).
- 3. So as we walk through campus today, I suggest you take photos and short video of projects on campus that illustrate (or challenge, or complicate) definitions such as those cited above.

- If you do not want to carry you bags, you can put them in my office and get them afterwards. The classroom doesn’t lock, so I suggest you do not leave them here.
