As never before, we as a global civilization are facing the possibility of societal and environmental collapse, leading to untold suffering for both human and non-human species. The problems we face are tightly interlocked; no problem can be viewed &#8211; let alone solved &#8211; in isolation. While efforts are underway to address these complex, systemic problems at high levels of governance and administration (UN, IMF, WTO, World Bank, etc.) these &#8220;solutions&#8221; embody a Western management outlook. In this positivist framework, we can manage our way out of crises; all we need to do is more of the same. But evidence suggests otherwise, and these efforts often backfire, with dire consequences for those affected. As Einstein famously said, &#8220;We can&#8217;t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.&#8221; However well-intended, the &#8220;management&#8221; worldview does not adequately address underlying, paradigm-level causes of violence, poverty, and environmental destruction. From a darker perspective, international attempts at betterment are, in fact, mere extensions of globalized neoliberal\/colonial regimes, and thus represent not &#8220;solutions&#8221; but reproducers and amplifiers of the very problems they profess to solve. In either case, a new way is needed. Using a &#8220;toolbox&#8221; of practical means (Critical &amp; Systems Thinking, Sustainable\/ecological Literacy, theories of consciousness and social change, etc.) we develop new theories on how to view and understand global problems, and to affect change-for-the better. And we test our theories in real-world projects in our local and regional settings. The project-based approach we adopt in this course grounds our theories in praxis, and, if successful, will offer living proof of the potential for local solutions, when documented, contextualized, and openly disseminated, to have lasting positive effects on a global scale. This course covers the MIU general education requirements for Critical Thinking, WTG 191 (College Composition l), and Health-related Fitness. Course fee: $50<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>RL B101 Sustainability, Buildings, &#038; the Built Environment<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>The built environment consists of all the things that humans build &#8211; buildings and the rural, suburban, and urban context in which they are placed. Buildings, the cities they are placed in, and the transportation systems that connect them are the biggest things that humans build. Designing and building them sustainably is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. This course gives an overview of the origins and evolution of buildings and issues of sustainability in the built environment. Buildings consume over 40% of the energy we use. They are often made from toxic materials and materials difficult to recycle. Few buildings are designed to optimize the use of the energy and resources freely given to us by nature. We need to radically redesign the way we think about, build, and use buildings. The goal is to create a built environment that, like the natural environment, is regenerative, giving back more than it takes. By the end of the course students be able to: 1) Think holistically about the relationship between climate, culture, and available building materials in a variety of global settings; 2) Understand and be conversant in the basic concepts and language of building design and construction; and 3) Translate into real-world projects various team design skills gained during the course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>FOR 305 Spirituality and Sustainability<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>New and Ancient Perspectives on Nature, Transcendence, and Regenerative Living Credits: 2 Prerequisites: Delivery mode: On-Campus While some of the connections between theories of consciousness and sustainable and regenerative living are obvious, others are more subtle, and therefore need unpacking and deeper discussions. In this short seminar-style course we will examine what it means to be fully conscious, and what that means for creating a more just and sustainable world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>RL G315 Permaculture Designer Certification<\/h5>\n<p>Permaculture Design is an attempt to rethink and redesign every aspect of human endeavor in terms of sustainability. In this course, you will learn about the principles, ethics, and scientific reasoning that guides permaculture design, along with how to apply it to homes, cities, and natural landscapes. Students engage with concepts and strategies for building soil health, maximizing water efficiency, and increasing biodiversity through integrated plant dynamics and agroforestry. There will also be workshops related to mushroom cultivation and fermentation sciences. The course will culminate in a final comprehensive design project involving a real client, where you will work to perform site analysis and develop practical solutions for real-world design challenges. Upon successful completion of the course, students earn an internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certificate. This course includes a weekend field trip.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>RL P250 Global Sustainability<\/h5>\n<p>How do we set about structuring a sustainable living environment that can be maintained on a global scale for all future generations? This course is about the big picture that drives the global sustainable living agenda. It provides a broad perspective on the problems we face as a species. We study what can and should be done to transform the current trends effecting population growth, biodiversity, climate, energy supply and consumption, food and water security and other threats to sustainability. We explore the shift in mindset or consciousness needed to take us from regarding the environment and an expendable resource to treasuring it as an entity with which we must live in harmony.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tField experience courses\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>RL G398 Internship<\/h5>\n<p>Students apply their skills and knowledge of regenerative sustainability in real-world situations while earning academic credit. Internships are coordinated by the Career Services Office along with the department and the Registrar to ensure proper credit and approvals. Prerequisites: Internship Proposal and consent of the Regenerative Living Department.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>RL G400 Regenerative Living Project Prep<\/h5>\n<p>This course is devoted to preparing students for the Senior Sustainable &amp; Regenerative Living Project (RL G401). Students meet with faculty to research, discuss, and plan the project to ensure that it will unfold as smoothly as possible. Prerequisites: good academic standing and consent of the instructor<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>RL G401 Senior Regenerative Living Project<\/h5>\n<p>In this senior-level course, students apply what they have learned to a special project. The project may be an individual effort or students may work together in small teams to produce a fitting tribute to the concept of sustainable and regenerative living. Students generate research, creative, or service projects based upon the available knowledge and best practices currently available. Service and creative projects also require a reflective piece of writing that demonstrates writing, critical thinking, and holistic thinking skills. Students prepare their projects in writing and present them orally to their departments. Students may request to be nominated to represent the department and present their project at the annual Senior Project Honors Competition. Senior projects give faculty a final opportunity to evaluate student writing, critical thinking, and speaking toward the end of students&#8217; academic careers. The projects also give students an opportunity to demonstrate their speaking, thinking, and writing capabilities on topics that matter to them.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tNot Quite Ready to Apply?\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Join us for a Visitors Weekend to get to know us a little better, explore our campus, and see what all our wonderful little town of Fairfield, Iowa has to offer.
