Preparing for Unit 3 Emergent Issues – Pair up and Sign up

by Elizabeth Childs.  

Hello Everyone and welcome to happy heart month! We hope you are having a great start to February and are looking forward to some signs of spring wherever this note finds you.

We are reaching out to you about Unit 3 and Unit 4 in CLAS 601 - Emergent Issues which is focused on topics that are of interest to you. The unit description asks you to do the following:

  • host a discussion about a topic relevant to your own interests in the climate action space.
    • Each pair will have a 45 minute slot in either Unit 3 or Unit 4 to host this discussion.
    • You will be responsible for identifying 1-2 readings/resources for us all to read in advance of the seminar, and for leading the discussion on this topic.
    • You are free to invite a guest speaker if you wish.
    • There is NO right way to structure and facilitate the discussion, however you are encouraged to consider how to make it engaging and generative.
To get us underway, you will need to pair yourself and then please sign your pair up for a time slot for one of either Unit 3 (March 27th 16:00 - 18:30 synch session) or Unit 4 (June 19 16:00 - 18:30 synch session). If you could complete the sign up's by Feb 19th that would be great! We are looking forward to Unit 3 synch session March 27th. Have a great week all. Ciao, Elizabeth and Robin
