Inter-disciplinary innovations & transformative learning

This initiative explores the intersection of sociology, law, economics, and environmental science in developing a Local Environmental Action Plan. By integrating insights from various disciplines, we aim to address critical issues in waste and water management, enhance community education, and train municipal officials. Our approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of environmental challenges but also promotes transformative learning practices. Join us in reorienting curriculum and research to cultivate innovations that empower others in university settings to explore inter-disciplinary methodologies.
