Dear Colleagues,
Please find below a research request from
Steve Kurtz pf The Development Committee
for The Global Systems Centre.
This is a project of The Canadian Association
for the Club of Rome.
Those interested in the global probelematique
of environment, ecology, sustainable development
and related themes will find this of interest.
Steve Kurtz and his colleagues request tour
assistance in providing information.

If you teach or work for an educational institution, or if you are
well informed about the course offerings of a college or university
department relating to the environment, ecology, sustainable
development and the like, a brief reply [offlist] would be much
appreciated. I realize that there may be more grassroots and informal
organizations addressing this issue (than formal ones), but the point
of this survey is to examine the state of affairs in formal
institutions. Negative replies are as important as positive ones!
The Development Committee for "The Global Systems Centre", a project
of The Canadian Association for the Club of Rome,
HTTP://www.cacor.ca/
needs guidance as to the extent that whole-systems or macro
approaches to the Global Problematique are being taught. Here's what
we need:
(1)
Name (preferred; will be kept confidential) and location of the
institution (will accept location only)
(2)
Undergraduate or Graduate curriculum?
(3)
Program title or Department (ex.: envir studies, ecological
economics, human ecology,...)
(4)
Approximate number of courses that relate to the macro approach to
The Global Problematique (The words "Global Problematique" need not
be used)
(5)
Approximate number of years that this approach has been used
Thanks for your input.
Steve Kurtz
