176 Environmental Leadership and Organizing: From Idea to Impact

*Fadia Hasan, English Language and Literature Department***This course will
focus on the entire arc of starting with an inspired idea on environmental
solution seeking and walking through significant steps of developing an
idea into impact. We will talk about how theory and praxis connect to bring
about sustained environmental social change on the ground. Case - studies
of different local and global environmental leadership and organizing
initiatives will be explored to familiarize ourselves with the growth of
these individuals, groups, projects or organizations. Throughout our time
together students will work on their individual environmental
sustainability project vision from idea to impact.

** Fadia Hasan's doctoral research from the University of Massachusetts
Amherst on international communication, global youth activism, new media
technologies and social change led her to found The BGreen Project, an
international nonprofit that was built to connect and mobilize global youth
to collaborate in building new discourses on environmental action and
sustainable social change.Â

Smith College's commitment to women-led academia draws Fadia to be part of
this dynamic academic legacy that engages the voices of diverse communities
with education to bring about sustained social change. Her goals as a
teacher and researcher are aligned with a holistic approach that aims to
connect seemingly disparate dots (people and communities) in an
interdisciplinary and unique academic universe to produce a bigger, richer
and more inclusive outcome.**
