TELI 2008

Program Description

The 2008 program was developed by two faculty members, Jonathan Kenny (Chemistry and CIS) and Ann Rappaport (Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning). The goals of the workshop were to enhance faculty literacy on climate change and climate justice and to inspire participants to incorporate these themes into an existing course or to create a new course. Ultimately, the purpose is to increase the ability of all our students to engage with issues that will shape their generation.
