*[Enwl-eng] New Online Course: War and the Environment -- Reserve your spot

[ENWL]

                        Grounded in research on peace and ecological 
security, this course focusses on the relationship between two existential 
threats: war and environmental catastrophe. We will cover:

                        • Where wars happen and why.
                        • What wars do to the earth.
                        • What imperial militaries do to the earth back 
home.
                        • What nuclear weapons have done and could do to 
people and the planet.
                        • How this horror Is hidden and maintained.
                        • What can be done.


                        This course is 100% online and interactions are not 
live or scheduled, so you can take part whenever works for you. Weekly 
content includes a mix of text, images, video, and audio. Instructors and 
students utilize online discussion forums to go over each week's content, as 
well as to provide feedback on optional assignment submissions.

                        The course also includes three 1-hour optional zoom 
calls which are designed to facilitate a more interactive and real-time 
learning experience.

                        Instructors will include:


                        • Prominent environmental engineer and Professor of 
Environmental Health: Patricia Hynes (retired).
                        • Expert disarmament professional: Ray Acheson with 
the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.
                        • Noted activist, writer, and therapist: Caroline 
Davies with Extinction Rebellion.
                        • Distinguished researcher-practitioner: Lindsay 
Koshgarian with the National Priorities Project.
                        • World BEYOND War Education Director: Phill 
Gittins.
                        • World BEYOND War Co-Founder and Executive 
Director: David Swanson.

                        More instructors are still being added.

                        Time commitment/expectations: How much time you 
spend and how deeply you engage is up to you. At a minimum, you can expect 
to spend between 1-2 hours a week if you only review the weekly content 
(text and videos). We hope, however, you’ll want to engage in the online 
dialogue with peers and experts. This is where the real richness of the 
learning occurs, where we have the opportunity to explore new ideas, 
strategies, and visions for building a more peaceful world. Depending on 
your level of engagement with the online discussion you can expect to add 
another 1-3 hours a week. Finally, all participants are encouraged to 
complete optional assignments (required to earn a certificate). This is an 
opportunity to deepen and apply the ideas explored each week to practical 
possibilities. Expect another 2 hours a week if you pursue these options.


                        Accessing the course. Prior to the start date, you 
will be sent instructions for how to access the course.

                        Earn a certificate. To earn a certificate, 
participants must also complete optional weekly written assignments. 
Instructors will return the assignment to the student with detailed 
feedback. Submissions and feedback can be shared with everyone taking the 
course or kept private between a student and the instructor, at the student’s 
choice. Submissions must be completed by the conclusion of the course.

                        The cost of the course is the same for someone 
completing all, some, or none of the assignments.
