ELP 550 Advanced Leadership for Sustainability

This multi-media seminar and discussion course will review, analyze and critique the history, politics and rhetoric of sustainability. Four key themes are covered within the rubric of leadership for sustainability: the issues surrounding the Johannesburg summit, 2002, the growing conservation economy in the Pacific Northwest, the issue of indigenous cultures, and sustainability. Students apply these concepts in real life by developing a wildest dream project in sustainability and outlining social, natural and economic capital needed to implement it.
