This course is cross listed between Land and Food Systems (LFS490) and Educational Studies. In Educational Studies (EDST400 and EDST565B), it is offered to both undergraduate and graduate students. The course will have a common curriculum combined with specific (different) readings and assignments for each course stream (e.g. LFS490, EDST400, EDST 565). Since this is a 6-week summer intensive course, students will be expected to dedicate from 7 to 8 hours a week to their learning. All course materials will be available online (recorded lectures, videos, documentaries, readings and quizzes, analytical and land-based exercises) and group tutorials will take place once a week (either Tuesdays or Thursdays between 10:30am and 1:30pm Vancouver time, depending on the schedule of each stream).
