Community Research in Environment and Faith

Faith-based environmentalism is rarely part of sustainability discourse but could provide opportunities to engage people in new ways. This community engaged research course explores the richness and complexity of faith-based environmentalism. Time in the classroom will be spent building knowledge of the discipline through the discussion of theories and ideas, acquiring research skills, and unpacking field experiences. Time in the field will be spent engaging with the work of community partners and learning from them. The course is designed to bridge classroom knowledge with field experiences that allow for critical reflection and creative expression.
