Evidence of Transformative Sustainability Outcomes in Pratt Shows

Part of Pratt Earth Action Week (Nov 2–7), presented by the Pratt Sustainability Center.

Does Pratt Shows Design student work suggest that Pratt’s sustainability education is transformative? Find out!

As sustainability educators, we don’t just want students to understand sustainability concepts, we want sustainability values to be manifested in their actions. We use a four-year analysis of undergraduate work from Pratt Shows Design to better understand the impact that sustainability education has on the creation of their thesis work. We also look at transformative learning outcomes beyond sustainability, comparing how the prevalence of other prosocial values compares to sustainability.

With Chris Jensen (Professor, Math & Science), Ashley Bales (Associate Professor, Math & Science), and Dan Boscov-Ellen (Assistant Professor, Social Science & Cultural Studies).

This event is scheduled as part of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences’ “Works in Progress” series.
