The College of Wooster was awarded a grant for $270,000
by the Henry Luce Foundation to sponsor a new program called Environmental
Analysis and Action.
Wooster’s Environmental Analysis and Action
(EAA) Program will emphasize participation, integration, and an empirical
approach to problem solving in the local landscape. The EEA Program
consists of two components: Research Projects and an Annual Symposium.
These components provide venues through which faculty and students
may directly affect environmental policy. EAA Research Projects address
complex issues in Ohio urban and rural landscapes in focused research
settings, while the EAA Symposia involve faculty and students from
multiple disciplines in fine arts presentations, faculty panel discussions,
and a campus-wide interdisciplinary speaker series.
The summer research teams
will investigate these problems with multiple methodologies; a summer
workshop will focus on the policy implications of the research results.
During the academic year, EAA Research Projects will be incorporated
into senior independent study and sophomore research projects, and
the presentation of results will include on and off-campus venues.
Dr. Henry Kreuzman (Philosophy) will lead a faculty
committee that will organize the annual EAA Symposia. Open to all
members of the campus and local community, the Symposia will be linked
thematically to one of the on-going EAA Research Projects and to courses
acrossWooster’s curriculum. |
