Description: Sustainable Futures will explore a wide array of global sustainability challenges and solutions alongside significant trends and disruptive technologies that are shaping the future. Throughout the journey, discussions will be enhanced by drawing upon lessons from human exploration of analogous extreme environments in space – like Mars, the Moon, and low-earth orbit – as well as from terrestrial locales known as extreme environments. Sustainable Futures may feature an optional spring break trip to further enrich course content, for which an additional fee will be necessary.
