Meet the Experts

Meet the Experts

Sustainability is a collective challenge that can only be solved collectively. It requires the analysis of power and value structures, public practices, psychology, and communication and language use. Our College is uniquely positioned to work on these analyses and investigate the intersection of the environment with gender, indigeneity, racism, and class. By assembling and mobilizing this wide range of expertise, the College of the Liberal Arts can be a change-maker and a leader in sustainability.

If you would like to be included in our list of experts, please email Janet Swim for information.
