Sustainability Graduate Program

Sustainability is improving human and environmental wellbeing both now and into the future.  Sustainability as an academic field of study is relatively new and methods for teaching transformative sustainability are still being developed.  Just as the definition of sustainability includes improving human wellbeing, the way that we educate for sustainability should be grounded in inclusivity.  The program is seeking a graduate student to conduct research that evaluates best practices for inclusivity in sustainability education. The program is looking for a student to start in Fall 2020 (a start date in the summer is also possible) in the sustainability graduate program.  The research will be in collaboration with USD’s Inclusive Science Initiative.  I encourage students with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply.  Two years of funding at $20,000/year are secured. 

Interested applicants should e-mail (Meghann.Jarchow@usd.edu) with any questions or with a statement of research interests and experience.
