Principal Investigator Reinhard Goethert
In response to the now accepted doubling of the Third World population and the tripling of the urban footprint expected by 2030, Dr. Goethert will re-center the course "The New Practitioner" to identify proactive strategies for approaching these issues. The course is to be re-formatted as a challenge-based, hands-on curriculum, bringing in recognized experts to excite and challenge students through progressive levels of exploration. A culminating 2-week field-based workshop in a Third World country will present students the opportunity to confront and compare the realities on the ground with the experiences of the class.
