BIOL 704 - Engaged Research in the Environmental Sector

Credits: [1]

Description: Humans are impacting natural systems in myriad and complex ways. Research used to sustainably solve environmental problems therefore must take into account the knowledge and needs of people from diverse communities and organizations. Engaged, or co-produced, research between academics and non-academics is a promising approach to make progress in this complex space. This course covers four general principles that guide the co-production of environmental research-context-based, pluralistic, goal-oriented, and interactive-using case studies from Baltimore Harbor and around the world. Environmental researchers and activists from academia, government agencies, non-profit organizations, industry, and the community will visit the class to describe the process of co-producing research.
