across the landscape of higher education there is growing interest in addressing issues of environmental sustainability in the classroom.\u00a0 to develop and complicate students\u2019 environmental consciousness, and to encourage what david orr has termed \u201cecological literacy,\u201d many educators engage students with the calculation of \u201cecological footprints.\u201d\u00a0 ecological footprints are broad measures of natural resource use that assess the environmental impacts of individuals, campus communities, cities, or entire nations.\u00a0 they can be the basis for wide ranging discussions of ecological processes, environmental history, and the complexities of theory and method across the disciplines.\u00a0 this session will explore these and other possible teaching moments afforded by ecological footprints, and will feature, among other panelists, andrea george, director of vanderbilt\u2019s sustainability & environmental management office, who will discuss vanderbilt\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions survey.<\/p>\n
