Class discussions are organized around a UBC Continuing Studies audio podcast series featuring five of Canada's top thinkers on sustainability, as well as recommended readings, lectures and simulations. http://www.cstudies.ubc.ca/ Instructor: Vanessa Timmer, PhD Treat yourself to a taste of UBC's Point Grey campus this summer by joining one or more of these single-day learning experiences.
