Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: How does a university contribute to the development of a sustainable and livable urban community? In 2006, members of the Antioch University Los Angeles faculty envisioned a program that would educate citizens to participate in various forms of sustainable practice, equipping them to be advocates and leaders in their local communities. The university engaged leaders of community-based organizations in discussions that would inform the core values of an interdisciplinary graduate program in urban sustainability. The resulting MA in Urban Sustainability program that launched in October 2010 emphasizes an interdisciplinary, practitioner-scholar model that encourages students to think across disciplinary silos. Graduates of the program should be flexible and creative in their thinking, engaged in community concerns, and have a well-developed sense of the connection between theory and practice. Utilizing a low-residency model, the program provides students with both theoretical content and intensive place-based experiences that bring them out of the classroom into the diverse urban laboratories of Southern California. Exposure to historical, economic, political, and social perspectives as well as introduction to various research methodologies prepares students to participate in fieldwork by the beginning of their second semester. Culminating work in the program will require students to formulate a capstone project through which they demonstrate their leadership skills and put critical thinking into practice. Presenters will discuss the challenges and benefits of this new program, assessment of student learning in this emerging field, and the need for academic initiatives to prepare citizens to address social inequities and environmental injustice.
