Reflections
Knowledge mobilization is, in the end, a process of integrating new knowledge into ones own personal existing body of knowledge. Reflection is an important part of that integration. For each of our guest speakers, each student will post a reflection. The links above take you to the reflections on each of the guest speakers.
Each reflection is a maximum of 500 words. Each student's reflections will be posted on the Wiki page for the guest speaker linked to above. A table below shows the reflection that each student is to reflect on. A reflection on a peer's reflection is not a grading or criticism, but a comment on what has been gained by considering how someone else was affected by the session. This reflection on the reflection will be no more than 200 words.
A good reflection should contain:
- Reflective thinking as a clear explanation of your own thinking and learning processes, as well as implications for future learning,
- Analysis explores in in-depth the learning experience, the value of the derived learning to self or others, and the enhancement of your appreciation for the interdisciplinary intersections,
- Making connections articulates multiple connections between this learning experience and content from other courses, past learning, life experiences and/or future goals.
Reflections on Reflections
Each student will review and write a reflection on the reflection of one other student. These are the 'reflections on reflections'. Assignments are in the table below.

Final Reports
Working across disciplinary boundaries is challenging, particularly within the confines of a 16 week course. The material below represents the results of the students integrating information they gathered from guest speakers, academic sources, and non-academic public documents.
The recommendations made do not represent professional advice.
This material is made available so that readers can themselves consider the research, analysis, and recommendations against their own knowledge of their own community, as a starting point for further investigation. In this way, we hope that by sharing these results of our experience as a class, we can contribute to furthering the dialog around sustainability and resilience issues in our communities.
