This week long summer intensive program brings together scholars, students, professionals and a gifted psychology and organizational development faculty to explore how the tools of psychology can be used in a wide range of effective conservation and sustainability practices. Participants will gain a better understanding of the complex social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral and experiential dynamics inherent to conservation issues and effective strategies for sustainability leadership.
Topics to be covered include the determinants of diverse environmental worldviews and behaviors; ways to understand and work with emotional responses to environmental issues; and design of effective educational, behavior change and organizational leadership initiatives. Students will be guided to applying psychological perspectives to work in contexts such as conservation biology; environmental education programs; zoos, aquariums and museums; climate change mitigation or adaptation programs; resource management and land use planning; municipal sustainability programs; green business and organizations; and in private and public sphere environmental advocacy.
The course includes small group learning, individual mentoring, real-world case studies and field experiences.
