Justice through School Gardens

This Humanities Lab focuses on two guiding questions: What does it mean to build a just and sustainable community? How do individual character and civic virtues interact to shape the well-being of our local communities and local environment? Students will engage with on-campus gardens and the roles they play in realizing civic virtues related to ecological awareness, social equity, educational opportunity, and community well-being as well as the historical, cultural, and ethical dimensions underlying them. By working in partnership with local schools and community gardens, participants will design and implement projects that connect learning to real-world impact.

This course is offered in collaboration with Humanities Lab.
