I have been engaged in the design, teaching and administration of interdisciplinary environmental studies programs since 1976. My specialties are “sustainability,” “environmental politics and policy” and “environmental education.” Prior to joining the Colorado School of Mines in 1993, I served for 18 years in the Institute for Environmental Studies of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, 5 years as Director. I have served as President of the North American Association for Environmental Education; the Deputy Director of the International Society for Environmental Education (“Education for Ecologically Sustainable Development”); the U.S. Chair of Area XII (Environmental Information, Education & Training of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Agreement on Environmental Protection); as a member of the Education Commission of IUCN; and, I have been an advisor to the Governments of China, India, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, among others. My work focuses on the design for and obstacles to sustainability and the requirements of the modern university—especially technological universities—in responding to global change.
