Urban Ecology: Proposals For a Better Future

Course Description:

In this writing seminar, we’re going to learn about urban ecology and what we can do to improve the health of our urban environments. We will use this knowledge to propose our own plans for environmental improvement, beginning with collaborative work on an urban forestry grant and then opening up to individual proposal ideas, with the goal of finding funding sources and convincing funders to support our projects. The writing for this seminar will therefore be focused on technical proposals and proposal arguments.
