Why Join the
GSELS Learning Network? |
|
|
|
It is not an exaggeration to say that we are
currently in the midst of a global crisis.
Environmental degradation is rampant, species
planet-wide are facing extinction, and climate
change presents threats we are only beginning to
understand.
As our students enter the public sphere,
it is imperative that they be able to face the
challenges ahead; faculty leadership is more
crucial than ever at this time.

GSELS Vision |
Global Sustainability and Earth Literacy Studies acknowledges the
interconnections and
interdependence of the personal,
social, economic, cultural, environmental, and
political aspects of our world. Collaboratively,
students, faculty, administrators, and staff
explore the significance of human activity
within an evolving Universe and Earth. Through
shared leadership,
this nurturing learning
community facilitates the emergence
of awareness, knowledge, skills and solutions
necessary to create sustainable systems that
support a healthy and just economy, society,
culture and environment, while fostering values
of Earth ethics, social justice, cultural
diversity, and civic engagement.
GSELS Faculty and GSELS-designated courses
will be listed on the Earth Ethics Institute
website. |
