A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
"In Fall ‘19, faculty grants were awarded to support four projects related to the Tishman Center’s mission. One of those projects, “Developing Milano’s ‘Whole Earth’ Curriculum” was led by Leonardo E. Figueroa Helland (Milano/EPSM Faculty), and Mindy Fullillove (Milano/Urban Policy Faculty). As part of the project, a task force was created to investigate how the New School can reexamine its curriculum with a focus on climate justice, as well as to evaluate the school’s contribution to climate justice and its role in the greater community.
The project resulted in three deliverables: a) a public syllabus, (b) the Teach-in, and (c) the survey. The public syllabus, published as of March 2020, lists various readings and resources related to six topics in climate justice (see list of topics below). The six topics served as modules during the interactive teach-in on March 2, 2020. The four-hour teach-in included 54 people, including 35 students from several departments within the New School, 10 faculty, 1 staff, 3 alum and 5 community members from outside TNS. It featured lectures, group conversations, and panelists from organizers of Decolonize This Place, Amin Husain and Amy Wang, and Jess Serrante from Radical Support Collective. After the teach-in, the participants were asked to fill out an extensive survey to gather insights about how the New School should act on climate justice."
