My recent teaching has been mostly split between a graduate course in the Environment and Resources degree program and directing interdisciplinary capstone seminars for undergraduates in the Environmental Studies certificate program (ES 600). My affiliate status in the Botany Department allows me to accept students in that program. I also can accept students in the Nelson Institute programs of which the land Resources program and the Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development program are the most relevant to my research.
My teaching responsibilities in an interdisciplinary institute have stimulated my interest in the general topic of interdisciplinarity and its role in solving environmental problems in general and ecological problems in particular. My current views on this subject are presented in a class handout prepared for a graduate class.
