COVID creativity: Heather Leslie shifts field course online
In the past nine months, Uº£½ÇÉçÇø faculty and students have had to be extra flexible and creative in response to changes necessitated by COVID-19. Heather Leslie, director of the Darling Marine Center and a Mitchell Center faculty fellow, transformed a three-week summer field course into a 10-week online graduate seminar, in collaboration with Kara Pellowe of the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
The course, Interdisciplinary Methods for Social-Ecological Systems Science, was originally planned for 12 Uº£½ÇÉçÇø students. The online seminar enrolled 17 students from Uº£½ÇÉçÇø and six other institutions in the U.S. and Germany
Heather and Struan Coleman, a Uº£½ÇÉçÇø master’s student who participates in the Mitchell Center’s Strengthening Coastal Economies project, are quoted in a recent Uº£½ÇÉçÇø News story about the course.
