Full course description
Strategies for Sustainability (this is not a self-paced course)
November 18 ‒ 29, 2024
In this course, students learn how to build and evaluate a theory of change for a defined sustainability objective. Theories of change have proliferated in recent years as both planning and evaluative tools across the public, private and non-profit sectors. Students will survey the diverse approaches for creating a theory of change, learn the specific terminology and concepts embedded within them and practice inserting assumptions into theories of change as a means of identifying barriers to success and developing strategies to overcome them. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to construct their own theories of change relevant to their sustainability priorities.
