2020 Faculty Grants Update, Part 1 of 4: “Whole Earth Curriculum”

In Fall ‘19, faculty grants were awarded to support four projects related to the Tishman Center’s mission. One of those projects, “Developing Milano’s ‘Whole Earth’ Curriculum” was led by Leonardo E. Figueroa Helland (Milano/EPSM Faculty), and Mindy Fullillove (Milano/Urban Policy Faculty). As part of the project, a task force was created to investigate how the New School can reexamine its curriculum with a focus on climate justice, as well as to evaluate the school’s contribution to climate justice and its role in the greater community.

Climate Emergency Teach-in Recap

On March 2nd 2020, the Milano Whole Earth Taskforce, made up of students, faculty, and staff, brought together The New School community for a Climate Emergency Teach-In. Leonardo Figueroa Helland and Mindy Fullilove, the faculty members behind the event, are recipients of a 2019-2020 Tishman Center Faculty Grant and the teach-in was created as part of their “Whole Earth” Curriculum project. Génesis Abreu, a current Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management student, was invited to join the Whole Earth Taskforce as a research assistant and has been key in bringing the project to life.
