Climate change from an international perspective \u2013 a new campus course offering!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

March 2017<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Winter Quarter 2017, Professor Bob Pavia<\/a> taught an innovative course jointly offered by the Honors Program and the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies \u2013 a look at climate change from a truly international perspective. The new course, ARCTIC 391\/JSIS 391\/HONORS 394 Climate Change \u2013 An International Perspective: Science, Art and Activism<\/em>, brought together students from across disciplines including international studies, engineering, political science, environmental design, art, accounting, and biology.<\/p>\n

\"\"The course explored the science of climate change in the context of social and political restraints. It further explored the role of art and activism in communicating climate change impacts. Important to international studies is the discussion of how the Arctic nation-states including Canada, the United States, Russia, the Scandinavian countries, Arctic Indigenous peoples, and Asian observer nation-states are working together to address environmental issues in the Arctic via the Arctic Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudying the arctic has expanded my largely U.S-centric understanding of climate change by providing a tangible example of the ways in which culture, politics, and the economy are inextricably tied to the environment,\u201d noted Ava Lewis, a senior in Biology. \u201cThe diversity of peoples and accelerated rate of climate change there has necessitated the intersection of science and policy to a degree not seen in the rest of the world. Thus an understanding of the arctic will become more and more vital as the impacts of climate change are felt around the world.\u201d As a result of taking this new climate change course, Ava is registering for the minor in Arctic Studies.<\/p>\n

As part of the Jackson School of International Studies\u2019 minor in Arctic Studies (in partnership with the School of Oceanography), five of the National Resource Centers in the Jackson School,* including the Center for Global Studies, partnered with UW Honors in 2016 to develop this new course on climate change providing a truly international perspective on a critical global issue. Dr. Robert Pavia taught the course for the second time this Winter Quarter with enrollment over capacity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pavia is an Affiliate Associate Professor and Lecturer in the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs and an Affiliate Faculty for the Arctic Studies Minor. His research focuses on identifying emerging risks in marine transportation and the role of information during environmental disasters in the U.S. and Canadian Arctic.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cDeveloping this course provided me with an opportunity to combine interests in the role of science in public policy with rapidly emerging questions about the impacts of climate change on the Arctic and its people,\u201d reflected Dr. Pavia. \u201cStudents are drawn to questions of how art and activism can alter public perceptions about science. Students also bring to class a profound sense of concern about their future in a changing world \u2013 brought into sharp focus this quarter as a new U.S. political reality takes hold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*This course was made possible, in part, by Title VI grant funding from the Office of Postsecondary Education, International and Foreign Language Education, U.S. Department of Education in response to the current theme, \u201cInternational Education: Investing in Our Global Future.\u201d Supporting centers include the Canadian Studies Center, Center for Global Studies, East Asia Center, Ellison Center for Russia, East European and Central Asian Studies, and the Center for West European Studies.<\/p>\n

These National Resource Centers, housed in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, are dedicated to strengthening the capacity and performance of America education via supporting instruction in interdisciplinary fields (such as international responses to climate change) needed to provide a full understanding of world regions, countries and peoples.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
