We are pleased to share that Climate Justice in Environmental Education was one of 15 selected proposals by Bring Theory to Practice (BT2P). With generous support from the Endeavor Foundation and the Luce Foundation, BT2P was able to fund 15 proposals, comprising partnerships among more than fifty higher ed institutions, consortia, and community organizations.
Simmons University, the Center for Sustainability and the Environment at Colleges of the Fenway, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and Mass Audubon will partner on a two-course sequence on climate justice, racial justice, and environmental education addressing inequities in access to green space in the city of Boston.
BT2P launched The Way Forward initiative in fall 2020 as a response to the current intersecting crises facing American society and higher education – systemic racism, the pandemic, and economic inequality. One aspect of the initiative was a round of Multi-Institutional Innovation Grants (MIGs), inviting collaborative projects that bring the core values and best practices of undergraduate education to bear on the current crises and the need for change.
