Curriculum Innovation for Sustainability Leadership: A Chat with Duke University

Contributed by Dr. Sarah

Listen in on a rich conversation with Bill Chameides, Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University on curriculum innovation for environmental leadership. Bill is a very dynamic guest with an unusual background not just in academic science but the arts and the non-profit world–  you won’t be sorry you listened in.

Our November, 2012 Virtual Roundtable included sustainability directors and faculty from Middlebury and Yale who contributed keen insights into their dilemmas about how to educate the next generation to lead.

What competencies do we need to cultivate in new leaders?

How do we (can we?) integrate campus sustainability operations and curriculum?

What is the role of the arts and the social sciences in environmental education?
