The Sustainable Communities program prepares students to enact positive social change. We take an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to sustainability, enabling and encouraging our students to develop their own vision for a just world. Our graduate curriculum provides a theoretical foundation to understand societal problems and to identify opportunities for moving through them. Students engage dominant and alternative economic, political, social, and philosophical paradigms as they develop their understanding of how to work for a more just and sustainable world. Students work closely with community organizations and initiatives, developing organizing and leadership capacity that build on skills they workshop and study in the classroom. Combining robust theoretical grounding with applied community engagement sets our program apart and positions our students as capable participants and leaders of social change.<\/p>\n
