GDEV 5085
Circular Economy Seminar

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024. Courses of Study 2023-2024 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

This seminar, open to students across the university, introduces circular economy principles and frameworks through a series of faculty and practitioner-led talks and activities. It features discussions about specific initiatives to keep materials – from organics to plastics, construction materials, textiles and more – in use. It also features sessions on efforts to bring about, manage, and govern circular economies, from the re-design of materials to efforts to help people repair and re-use the things they own. We will examine a city at the forefront of circularity initiatives, and prospects for a future in which products are engineered with living materials.

When Offered Fall.

  • Identify key principles of the circular economy.
  • Analyze the application of those principles in a blog post.
