SSCI

A survey course of the fundamental scientific principles underlying environmental integrity and challenges. Specific content varies from year to year. Emphasized topics include thermodynamic laws and the possible vs. the impossible; conservation laws; momentum balance; chemical equilibrium and kinetics; and radiation and heat transfer. All topics are introduced using actual pertinent environmental problems as the “hook.”  Class size: 20

EUS 204   Urbanism Unbound: Field Study

in Mumbai

Jonathan Anjaria

M . . . .

5:00 – 7:00 pm

OLIN 205

SSCI

(2 credits)  This course is an advanced study of the city that will take place in Mumbai, India during the winter break and continue at Bard in the Spring semester. We will allow Mumbai's vibrant and challenging urban environment to inspire us to think anew about urban processes.   Close attention to the lived experiences of the ordinary spaces of the city—the streets, sidewalks, shantytowns, trains and markets--will enable us to get a sense of the vast possibilities for organizing urban life.  Moreover, we will explore how urban space is contested and envisioned through a study of topics such as access to water, politics of slum removal, informal waste  recycling and sustainability, media and civic engagement, urban environmental activism, the relationship of gender to urban development, popular culture,  globalization and consumer culture and the politics of heritage conservation.  Student-designed research projects will be aided by meetings with scholars, architects, urban planners, writers and activists who play a central role in the city's public life.   Through this intensive study, we will explore how Mumbai's unique urbanism  might help us understand some of the pressing issues of the contemporary urban world. The spring semester course will be devoted to further research and reading, culminating in a substantial research paper.  This course is restricted to students have who completed the field component in Mumbai over the winter break.

EUS 241   Advanced Reading in Environmental Science

Gidon Eshel

M . W . .

10:10 - 11:30 pm

HEG 203

SSCI

This course is a continuation of EUS 240. Content varies year to year, but is always firmly anchored in recent developments in environmental science. In the course, we read 7-8 new (2011/12) scientific papers, and discuss in great details and at length both the specific questions addressed and findings, and the broader scientific and societal context. Topics emphasized include agriculture’s radiative, hydrological, chemical and physical impacts, physics of cities and built environments, alternative energy and ocean/atmosphere conservation.

EUS 305   Practicum: Waterfront Resilience

to Climate Change

Jennifer Swartz Berky

M . W . .

4:40 – 6:00 pm

RKC 101

HDR 106

SSCI

The Practicum is an opportunity for students to apply theories and concepts in sustainable development by participating in a current project in the field.  The City of Kingston’s historic waterfront is vulnerable to the rising waters of the Hudson River Estuary.  The course will cover concepts of resilience and climate change adaptation from environmental, social and economic perspectives locally and globally, learning about the emerging field of resilience as applied in the world’s most vulnerable urban areas.  Specific sites slated for redevelopment on the Kingston waterfront will be the subject of an all-day, student-led community “charrette” workshop with city officials, residents, and other stakeholders to develop a vision for a more sustainable waterfront.  Occasional site visits and field trips are integral to this course, and will typically be scheduled in the late afternoons during class sessions.  Practicum fulfills a requirement for the EUS major.  Class size: 15
