Tackling ‘the World’s Most Challenging Problems’ in our classes - Climate Change

Middlebury will be joining hundreds of educational institutions around the world (in more than 50 countries and most US states) in the Worldwide Teach-In on Climate Change during the week of March 27-31. Last year’s event included participation from more than 30 faculty - from Economics, Environmental Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Theatre, Arabic, Geology, Dance, Computer Science, English, and other fields, reaching (by some conservative estimates) over 400 students. This year we are hoping to reach the majority of our campus community!
To help brainstorm how to #MakeClimateAClass across the curriculum at Middlebury [hint: start with 5 minutes], we will be hosting a lunchtime discussion in the CTLR Lounge on Tuesday, March 28. We will also use this opportunity as the focus of a larger conversation on how we can all – regardless of disciplinary differences — bring the “World’s Most Challenging Problems” into our work with students.

Please register by 3/21 for this lunchtime event.
