Over the past few decades governments, corporations, organizations and citizens have been struggling to understand the implications of rapid industrialization, population growth, resource depletion, information technology and other factors on our health, happiness and quality of life. Given the many issues at play, the multiple scales impacted, the global dimensions at hand, and the complexity of activities, sustainability
as concept and application has been elusive and difficult, yet increasingly warranted and urgent.

This Winter semester Dr. Brian Sinclair, FRAIC and Dr. Noel Keough are teaching Exploring Sustainability (UNIV 207) Thursday afternoons from 2:00-4:50 p.m.

This new undergraduate seminar‐based survey course encourages students to think creatively, critically and holistically, and examines a spectrum of principles, practices, obstacles and opportunities pertaining to sustainability.
