SUMMARY:Columbia's Tim Boyle on Free Trade and Global Engagement at the Old Church
DESCRIPTION:Directly and indirectly\, Oregonians depend on free and fair trade. Whether it is Oregon farmers exporting their goods\, workers on the docks loading and unloading imported or exported cars and other products\, or innovators in the apparel and footwear industries creating the next hit for global markets\, Oregonians benefit from global engagement. \nFrom restrictions on international travel and legal immigration to tax reform to pulling back from international trade agreements\, how have the uncertainty created by recent policies effected the rules of global engagement and the ability to create economic opportunity?  What can we do to inspire a deeper investment in education at all levels so that Oregonians are prepared to understand and engage in the global economy? And how might we reinvigorate the idea that economic growth and quality of life are the direct beneficiaries of global engagement and free trade– a notion that is too often lost in political debates on all sides of the political aisle?

SUMMARY:SCC Webinar - Competencies and Pedagogies for Sustainability Education
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability studies educators in colleges and universities must identify and teach the knowledge\, skills\, and abilities their graduates will most need to advance sustainability while confronting perhaps the most serious\, sweeping\, and integrated set of challenges humanity has ever known. Drawing upon her recently published article “Competencies and Pedagogies for Sustainability Education: A Roadmap for Sustainability Studies Program Development in Colleges and Universities” <https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/19/5526>\, Evans articulates and describes a set of five competencies for the sustainability field and suggests potentially effective pedagogies for teaching them. Findings from her article in the areas of both competencies and pedagogies for sustainability education imply the benefits of integrative\, active\, collaborative\, and applied approaches to curriculum development and teaching—approaches that directly involve students in learning and practicing transdisciplinary engagement in service to sustainability. \nThe Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability Studies program at Colorado Mountain College serves as an example of how her articulated competency framework is being applied to evaluate and enhance curriculum and learning outcomes. The competency framework and pedagogical recommendations offered may also serve as roadmaps for educators at other institutions who prepare graduates to address the pressing challenges of sustainability evident in communities\, nations\, and the world. \nDr. Tina Lynn Evans is a Professor of Sustainability Studies at Colorado Mountain College (CMC) where she teaches in the Bachelor of Arts program in that field. She is also the author of Occupy Education: Living and Learning Sustainability (2012\, Peter Lang). Dr. Evans has led and participated in extensive course and program development efforts in environmental and sustainability studies for more than 15 years. She focuses much of her teaching on sustainability theory and practice\, socio-cultural aspects of sustainability\, sustainable economics\, energy issues in society\, permaculture design\, and career development in sustainability. Her recent publications focus on sustainability competencies and pedagogies\, sustainable leadership\, hope and agency in sustainability education\, and transdisciplinary theory and practice. Evans was awarded the 2017 Campus Sustainability Research Award from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education for her article “Finding Heart: Generating and Maintaining Hope and Agency through Sustainability Education” (Journal of Sustainability Education\, November 2017). That same year\, she was also named college-wide faculty of the year at Colorado Mountain College. Evans also serves as the lead designer and implementer of the Bear Park Permaculture Center at the Steamboat Springs campus of CMC. Bear Park is a two-thirds acre site that serves as a living laboratory for permaculture\, sustainability studies\, environmental science\, culinary arts\, art\, and other academic programs.

SUMMARY:Samantha Power Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating its 20th anniversary\, WorldOregon’s International Speaker Series is one of the nation’s premier platforms for international affairs. For two decades\, the series has put you in the room with the global leaders\, visionaries\, and inspiring voices that are changing our world. And this year is no different\, presenting an array of the people\, the big ideas\, and the issues framing our role on the world stage. \nFORMER UN AMBASSADOR & PULITZER PRIZE WINNER\nWhat can one person do? At a crossroads of debate about our role on the global stage and polarizing politics at home\, Samantha Power explores this urgent question—delving into a call for a clearer eye\, a kinder heart\, and a more open and civil hand in our politics and daily lives. \nBiography \nFormer U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power is a leading voice internationally for principled American engagement in the world.

Her recently published book\, The Education of an Idealist\, chronicles her years in public service and reflects on the role of human rights and humanitarian ideals in contemporary geopolitics. \nPower spent half of her career explaining complex geopolitical events and eight years at the UN helping to shape them. As the 28th U.S. Ambassador to the UN\, Power became the public face of U.S. opposition to Russian aggression in Ukraine and Syria\, negotiated the toughest sanctions in a generation against North Korea\, lobbied to secure the release of political prisoners\, and helped mobilize global action against ISIL (ISIS). From 2009 to 2013\, she served on the National Security Council as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. Called “a powerful crusader for U.S. foreign policy as well as human rights and democracy” by Forbes\, Ambassador Power was named one of Foreign Policy’s “Top 100 Global Thinkers.” \nBefore joining the U.S. government\, Ambassador Power was the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School\, a columnist for Time\, and a National Magazine Award-winning contributor to the Atlantic\, the New Yorker\, and the New York Review of Books. \nSERIES TICKETS\nSeries tickets are now on sale.
