What are the tenets of sustainability as pedagogy? How can educators embed the wholistic, systems-thinking approaches of sustainability into teaching? In this research talk with the Sustainable Futures Faculty Fellowship (SF3) program, learn about how OCAD University faculty members integrate mapping, land-based learning, decolonial pedagogical models, and sustainable material practices into teaching and learning. The 2023-24 SF3 Fellows will present findings from their pedagogical research which took place in classes during Fall 2023.

All interested participants must REGISTER HERE no later than May 13, 2024.
