Want to get up to speed on the topic? There are lots of contextual resources (readings, a podcast) listed here.

Context project poster day has become a perennial favorite in the Change the World: GCSP course. In this project, students celebrate the complexity of the world by taking a deeper look at one piece of it—and use that deeper look to reflect back on themselves and learn about their own paradigms, priorities, assumptions, and interests. Students will share the digital posters and other artifacts they’ve created during our class time: 10-11:30am (Needham time) on Wednesday, March 3. Feel free to drop in when you can and leave when you need to. Contact Alison Wood with any questions. Zoom link to join: https://olin.zoom.us/j/594862393?pwd=bkhOWkV0enlSQmI1MTYvQ2FpZUVKdz09
