Course Director: Dorothy Goldin Rosenberg, PhD, MES.

Environmental Health is a challenging field of research, education, policy
and advocacy endeavours that link the natural, health and social sciences
with the worlds of the academy, community, business, economics, labour,
governments and media. They include physical, social, cultural, spiritual
and societal relationships which are multi directional and interlinked with
the health and well being of all life on earth.

This course focuses on exploring these links between health and the
environment in the context of popular education and transformative learning
in formal and non formal settings. It does so by helping participants to
develop critical thinking, investigative, analytical and practical skills to
better understand the constraints of scientific certainty and uncertainty in
today's complex world in order to advocate for lifestyle as well as public
policy changes. The issues are framed within the broad socio-environmental
perspectives on health promotion reflected in the goals of the Ottawa
Charter for Health Promotion-strengthening community action, developing
personal skills, creating supportive environments, helping in skills
development to educate, enable, mediate and advocate.

Cost $375.00. (Limited scholarships available for students, seniors, under &
unwaged).
(Should students wish to credit this course as a field work or reading
course in an academic program, prior consultation with your academic advisor
is necessary on the feasibility of applying your final paper toward that
program.)
