You are a part of a collegewide effort to increase access to education and empower students through "open pedagogy." Open pedagogy is a "free access" educational practice that places you - the student - at the center of your own learning process in a more engaging, collaborative learning environment. The ultimate purpose of this effort is to achieve greater social justice in our community in which the work can be freely shared with the broader community. This is a renewable assignment that is designed to enable you to become an agent of change in your community through the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For this work, you will integrate the disciplines of Anthropology and Geography to achieve SDG #11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. With a focus on Targets 11.4 – Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage, 11.a – Support positive economic, social and environmental links between urban, per-urban and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning, 11.c – Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials.
