Second Half of Class

• In the next week, we’re going to do some work fleshing out our understanding of sustainable development.  We will revisit some frameworks (3 spheres!), talk about the importance of values, and do some reading to get a firm background in the academic approaches to these problems.  Then, next week, we will apply what we are doing this week to the case study of Bears Ears.
