This year-long course continues with Unit 3 (post CALS 502 – Climate Communication) focused on continuing the conversations on Western and Traditional Indigenous Knowledges, theories, and perspectives on climate action leadership, climate adaptation, resilience, and design thinking through guest speakers and discussion activities.<\/p>\n
Drawing on the Unit 3 readings, and the learning\u00a0 to-date from previous courses, you will continue to develop and deepen your understanding of the competencies of climate action leadership, and other relevant topics. You will also contribute to your blog as a means to analyzing and synthesizing these perspectives and deepening your capacity for transdisciplinary thinking.<\/p>\n
Please see Schedule for important dates for this Unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n This unit provides an opportunity to consider how to draw on your learning from the Climate Communications course (CALS 502) to inform how you communicate about climate change and climate action.<\/p>\n Please attend the Unit 3 Seminar, Monday S<\/strong>eptember 12th, 16:00-18:30 PT<\/strong>.<\/span> This seminar will be an opportunity to reconnect with each other and critically reflect on the learning from CALS 502 and the challenges of climate communication in action.<\/p>\n This is a reminder that really is in place for the entire program – to take time to review and comment on other blogs posts from your MACAL student peers prior to considering how to craft your next one.<\/p>\n See the Assignment 3<\/a> description.<\/p>\n Think of your blog posts as critical academic reflection where you are analyzing and synthesizing as you make connections between theory and practice. Academic blogging requires\u00a0critical reflectio<\/a>n and\u00a0critical thinking and writing,<\/a>\u00a0a process of analyzing and synthesizing ideas, making links between theory and practice, and in the case of MACAL, applying a transdisciplinary lens to your thinking. This resource on\u00a0Critical Academic Blogging<\/a>\u00a0may be helpful to you and don\u2019t forget to explore the resources on the\u00a0RRU Writing Centre\u00a0<\/a>as well, specifically around creating a\u00a0detailed outline<\/a>\u00a0for your writing assignments, specifically the planning with PowerPoint section.
