Cumberland Project Course Design Workshop
In this time of environmental uncertainty and crisis higher education plays a vital role in helping the public meet the numerous challenges to sustainability, especially understanding and responding to climate change. Vanderbilt has taken up this challenge in a variety of forms, the latest of which is formation of the Climate and Environmental Studies Program.  Towards the goal of supporting this program’s new curriculum, Vanderbilt’s Center for Teaching, the Climate and Environmental Studies Planning Committee, and the Climate and Society Grand Challenge are proud to announce the renewal of the Cumberland Project course design workshop, scheduled for August 15-17, 2022.
 
Modeled on Emory University’s Piedmont Project and Northern Arizona University’s Ponderosa Project, the Cumberland Project will be a three-day workshop in which Vanderbilt instructors will engage in course design and pedagogical discussions with one another, CFT staff, and faculty leaders of environmental and climate studies.  Particular emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary, experiential, and collaborative approaches to teaching across all fields and all participants will focus on (re)designing a course that will be offered in the Climate and Environmental Studies Program in the next two years.  Participants will receive a $1000 stipend that they may choose to take as research funds or salary supplement, in addition to meals for the three days.
 
We hope you will participate.  If you are interested, please apply by completing this form by July 1, 2022, and if you have further questions, please direct them to Joe Bandy at the Center for Teaching (joe.bandy@vanderbilt.edu).
