EDUC 005 - Our Future, Our Learning: Identity, Connectedness, and Ways of Knowing


How can we shape our educational experiences to more fully engage the future? In contemporary times, we are facing multiple crises (social injustices, viruses, ecological degradation, democratic upheaval). Yet, it is also a time of innovation, creativity, and global connectedness. In this FYI course, we will work as a community of inquiry to investigate the question: what does it mean to educate ourselves toward planetary well-being? The course takes an interdisciplinary approach and draws from the learning sciences, wisdom traditions, futurology, and our own lived experiences. As we work together to advance our understanding, we will also frame the trajectory of our own university education.
