    Embedded video (You've Got... 90 seconds on Garbology) is a quick way to make the point that our consumerism is based on designed wastefulness. Other (longer) podcasts and book reviews/articles linked as well.

      Worth mentioning: there is at present an ideological backlash against the very concept of "social justice." I think we need to be aware of how language is constantly evolving in this regard, as well as how to debunk the primary charges (disparagements) levied by the Religious Right and the Right in general. 
  • the concept of human rights and major rights policy instruments

      This gets at the heart of what we mean by "Global Citizenship"-I cannot think of a meaningful framework outside that of human rights. Challenge: "rights policy instruments" as active part of global education-what are they and how do we engage with them? Volunteerism is easy to do and to do repeatedly; social justice, I'm not so sure about what that looks like stemming from an educational setting.

      How can we imagine "civic solutions" that are still project-based (i.e., Capstone-able)?

      That's the real challenge for us in designing a program that grows students into ethical agents of change: what the heck does it look like?
