Having talked with some of our graduate students about how to get a more inter-disciplinary education while they are in grad school, I’ve been collecting links to collaborative grad programs at U of T:<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Dynamics of Global Change Doctoral Program<\/a>, housed in the Munk Centre<\/a>. The core course, DGC1000H<\/a> is very interesting – it starts with Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point book, and then tours through money, religion, pandemics, climate change, the internet and ICTs, and development. What a wonderful journey.<\/p>\n The Centre for the Environment<\/a> runs a Collaborative Graduate Program<\/a> (MSc and PhD) in which students take some environmental science courses in addition to satisfying the degree requirements of their home department. The core course for this program is ENV1001, Environmental Decision Making<\/a>, and it also include an internship<\/a> to get hands on experience with environmental problem solving.<\/p>\n The Knowledge Media Design Institute<\/a> (KMDI) also has a collaborative doctoral program<\/a>, perfect for those interested in design and evaluation of new knowledge media, with a strong focus on\u00a0knowledge creation,\u00a0social change, and community<\/p>\n Finally, the\u00a0Centre for Global Change Science<\/a> has a set of\u00a0graduate student awards<\/a>, to help fund grad students interested in global change science. Oh, and they have a fascinating\u00a0seminar series<\/a>, mainly focussed on climate science (all done for this year, but get on their mailing list for next years seminars).<\/p>\n Are there any more I missed?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having talked with some of our graduate students about how to get a more inter-disciplinary education while they are in grad school, I’ve been collecting links to collaborative grad programs at U of T: The\u00a0Dynamics of Global Change Doctoral Program, housed in the Munk Centre.
