Wicked problems exist in a world of interconnected natural and human systems, including commerce, the driver of economies. Issues of sustainability, from the management of fisheries (Jentoft and Chuenpagdee, 2009) to the “super wicked” problem of global climate change (Levin et al., 2012), are especially wicked because they involve the three domains of “people, planet, and profit.” Meeting sustainable development goals for a growing global population, in the face of energy, water, and mineral resource challenges, all situated within the super-wicked problem of climate change and steeped in earth system science and economics, requires reshaping the way we educate the next generation of decision-makers. In this session, we provide an overview of a novel approach to transdisciplinary sustainability curriculum. The session includes an overview of the approach, an experiential workshop engaging participants in the process of module design, and an access to two fully developed curriculum modules. At the end of the session, participants will be able to apply the framework for designing both common and course specific modules to develop a transdisciplinary sustainability curriculum at their own institutions. |
