Humans have profoundly altered the character of Earth's biosphere since
the advent of agriculture and urbanization 10,000 years ago. This course explores
how global problems such as climate disruption, species extinction, and
depletion of fossil soils, fuels, and waters are interlinked with one another
but also with social problems such as financial instability, widening economic
inequality, food insecurity, intensifying conflict and militarization, and
declining public health. We review the empirical evidence of major
environmental problems; consider which academic disciplines and practical
skills are required to tackle them; and contemplate alternative political
options open to governments and communities.
Issues will be considered at a variety of scales—from the level of
individual responsibility to the local, regional, national, and global
dimensions. EUS 101 and 102 are the foundational courses of the EUS program and
are required for moderation. No prerequisite.

The science needed to understand and address our complex
socio-environmental challenges comes from a broad range of disciplines. In this
course, we introduce and integrate core concepts and methodologies from
physical, biological, and social sciences and practice system modeling to build
your capacity to think critically about the causes and solutions to complex
environmental problems and sustainability challenges. We will practice the
scientific method as we develop mechanistic understanding of the drivers of
climate change and the consequences for the hydrological cycle, ecological
processes, and people.

This is a collaborative, global course in social
entrepreneurship, where student teams ideate and develop models for social
enterprises. Bard students will engage with classes from Palestine, Kyrgyzstan,
Bangladesh, Colombia, Taiwan and other countries, through a mixture of
synchronous on-line learning, and in-person labs. Social entrepreneurship is
the process of building new organizations that offer scalable solutions to
social and environmental challenges. Social enterprise can be either
for-profit, or non-profit, but key is the ambition to address societal problems
at scale. The practice of social entrepreneurship explores the full suite of
liberal learning: critical analysis, persuasive writing, oral communication,
quantitative reasoning, design thinking, and group social dynamics. The course
will culminate in a “shark tank for sustainability” among and between teams
from the different universities, with winning teams then competing at the Bard
MBA’s annual Disrupt to Sustain pitch competition in December. The teaching and
learning collaboration will be made possible through the use of Bard MBA
Professor Crawford’s cloud-based teaching tool, RebelBase,
which supports project-based learning embedded in a collaborative, online
entrepreneurial ecosystem. The course will include readings and discussion
focused on social issues related to entrepreneurship: drivers of change, from decarbonization to AI; delinking growth from material
throughput; urban-based innovation ecosystems; social obstacles to risk taking;
working on multi-disciplinary teams; language, power, race and gender dynamics
in entrepreneurship; deconstructing the archetypes of entrepreneurship.

We generally assume maps are objective, accurate representations of data
and the world around us when, in fact, they depict the knowledge, experience,
and values of the humans who draft them. As a hybrid EUS practicum +
colloquium, this course will explore ways in which ecological issues are
entangled with colonial histories of racism and supremacy, resource extraction
and expansion through mapping. Native American scholarship will ground our
exploration as we consider the impact and consequences of mapping as a tool
used historically to claim ownership and invite exploitation. We will also
investigate the evolution of radical cartography to counter these practices and
imagine alternative mapping for more just ecological futures. A series of
Indigenous scholars and activists will provide an opportunity for students to
learn from experts working at the forefront of their fields to address
environmental injustices locally, nationally, and internationally. These guest
lectures will be paired with hands-on projects that explore mapping as a tool
for environmental advocacy alongside artistic and counter-mapping approaches
that experiment with ways we might communicate scientific and humanistic
knowledge to a wider audience. In both theory and practice this team-taught
course aims to reconsider and transform ways of engaging community science and
community action through collaborative inquiry, interdisciplinary
experimentation, and meaningful cross-cultural dialogue. This course is part of the Racial Justice Initiative, an
interdisciplinary collaboration among students and faculty to further the
understanding of racial inequality and injustice in the United States and
beyond.

Using ESRI GIS software and associated apps, students will receive formal
instruction in the fundamentals of using spatial information, conducting
spatial analysis, and producing high-quality cartographic products. Students
will learn how GIS may be used as a tool for identifying and assessing
environmental justice (EJ) issues at the local, regional and global scale.
Students will apply these GIS skills and knowledge base to a team-based
research project focused on an environmental justice problem. The course
culminates in a presentation session, where students show their analysis and
results to their peers, professors and the greater Bard community. This course is part of the Racial Justice Initiative, an
interdisciplinary collaboration among students and faculty to further the
understanding of racial inequality and injustice in the United States and

How do urban processes of growth, decline, and revitalization
affect different groups, particularly along dimensions of race, class, and
gender? This place-based research seminar course looks closely at this question
by examining the historical, political, and social landscape of Kingston. We
will use this nearby city as a case to explore theories on urban transformation
and the contemporary challenges that face small urban centers. In particular,
the course will use the lens of environmental inequality to examine the effects
of historical processes, as well as to investigate how residents and government
officials are addressing pressing problems. The course will look specifically
at issues of food justice, pollution, access to
resources, environmental decision-making processes, and housing security. We
will visit Kingston as a class, and students will develop and carry out their
own project with a community partner. (This course fulfills the practicum
requirement for moderated EUS students.) Admission by
permission of the instructor. This course will usually meet
every other Friday from 10:20-12:40, but students must be available from
10:00-1:30, in order to allow for off-campus trips. Please note that
this is the first semester of a two-semester course. Students who take this
first section will be expected to enroll in the second two-credit section in
the spring 2022.
