Auburn Fall Line Project

Sustainability in the Curriculum

Based on the nationally recognized Piedmont Project at Emory University, the Auburn Sustainability Initiative has begun the Fall Line Project. This is an innovative approach to curricular change that should be both an intellectually stimulating and collegial experience for faculty across the range of disciplines at Auburn.

Invited speakers and Auburn faculty facilitate discussion of sustainability and its role in the university curriculum. The workshop explores techniques for integrating these issues into our classes. Though we start by taking a close look at Auburn and the larger Eastern Alabama region, we invite participants to engage in local/global comparisons. Skeptics, environmentalists, and those in between have found their various perspectives welcomed and enriched by the dialogue and the project activities.

Faculty and advanced graduate student participants in the Fall Line Project are committed to revising a course to incorporate sustainability. The workshop at Emory has resulted in the inclusion of sustainability content in more than a hundred courses. We are optimistic that here at Auburn we can achieve the same success. For more information contact Matt Williams or Lindy Biggs.
