Synchronous Zoom Sessions (Links Posted on Canvas)
This one-credit online synchronous course for graduate and undergraduate students will use a global framework to examine and analyze the interconnections between environment, society, and policy in the thirteen-state region of Appalachia. It will encourage students to consider how local events and decisions often have global repercussions, and vice versa. Over the course of three days, information on these topics will be presented to students by multi-disciplinary experts and leaders in their fields. Students will also engage with one another and the instructors through activity sessions which will ask students to apply course concepts to analyze case studies, construct mock policy debates, and identify certain policy problems and stakeholders in the region.
