 cological Sustainability\n\nExplore the cultural and economic causes o
 f the various Global Crises. We investigate key underlying western val

 onal – the growth economy? This exploration leads to understanding t
 he possibilities for a positive future.\n \nCOURSE HIGHLIGHTS\n\nGain
  a comprehensive overview of the forces that have created both the glo
 bal ecological crises and the global social justice crisis.\nLearn too
 ls to better analyze our situation.\nGain a deeper grasp of the instit
 utional and systemic changes necessary for dealing with the global cri
 ses.\n\n \nKathryn Cholette has a BA in Anthropology and Sociology, S
