The Environmental Studies Book Club Discussion Series
This winter we will be reading and discussing "Time and a Place: An Environmental History of Prince Edward Island" (2016). Our discussions will probe into past and present environmental changes on PEI, and how and why the Islanders are particularly sensitive to environmental issues and enmeshed in their landscape in a way that is unique among Canadians.
During our second discussion, we will talk about energy transitions in PEI history and will focus on the chapter by Kathleen Stuart: “Two centuries of energy on Prince Edward Island.” Those interested in more information about the province’s energy policies in the 1973-1990 period can also read the book by Alan MacEachern "The Institute of Man and Resources: An Environmental Fable" (2003).
We are thrilled that the authors and editors of these books, Ms. Kathleen Stuart, Dr. Alan MacEachern, and Dr. Josh MacFadyen, will join our discussion.

Providing content for your course can be the easy part in the process. Figuring out how to explain to students what impact that content will have on them and for them can be far more challenging. There are numerous ways to describe learning and just as many opinions as to which is best. Are learning targets even necessary? Come and hear what the E-Learning Office has to say about targets for learning. You can attend this workshop on either Monday, February 25th or Tuesday, March 26th from 10:30 to 11:30 am in Room 265 of the Robertson Library. REGISTER
