The Environmental Studies Program at the University of Prince Edward Island has openings for Sessional Instructors (pending budgetary approval) to teach the following courses in the Fall and Winter 2021-22 semesters.

Fall 2021

ENV 4410 Environment and International Relations

Ecological problems such as climate change and resource scarcity transcend the boundaries of nation-states and therefore necessitate international cooperation between states and non-state actors. This course will examine the dynamics of global environmental politics.

Three semester hours of credit.

Please note that ENV 4410 will be taught in person, unless advised otherwise due to public health guidelines.

Winter 2022

ENV 3110 Understanding Climate Change

This course introduces students to the science of climate change. Students explore its social and political implications and examine its impact on daily life by reviewing current scientific data as it relates to vulnerabilities of particular regions. Topics include methods, strategies, and technologies that address climate change, using case studies of adaptive and mitigative programs in North America, with a special emphasis on Canada’s climate action plan.

Three semester hours of credit (web-based)
