教师资源

Smith faculty are deeply committed to student learning. To increase the environmental literacy of all Smith students, the college supports the faculty in bringing environmental concepts and context to a wide variety of courses through curricular enhancement grants, 奖学金, and providing environmental data for teaching and research.

学院研究奖学金

The CEEDS 教师研究 Fellowship program invests in faculty and connects their research to our campus and community challenges. The premise of this investment is that research can bridge theory and practice, and enhance student learning for many years to come.

Each year, CEEDS appoints 1–2 Smith faculty as CEEDS 教师研究 Fellows. These fellows join a community of engaged faculty who use Smith’s distinctive campus resources and the “campus as classroom” model to advance our understanding of climate change and climate impacts. 在他们上任的夏天, faculty are provided with summer support, student summer undergraduate research fellows and research funds to support the dissemination of their research findings on and off campus.

Elisa金

Elisa金 is an Assistant Professor of Art + Architecture and leads Smith’s architecture curriculum at both introductory and advanced levels.

As part of the 2019/2020 Year on Climate Change Professor Kim was awarded a CEEDS Curricular Enhancement Grant (CEG) to support her Advanced Architecture Design Studio: Transient Spaces—Terrestrial Bodies. While Kim’s fall advanced architecture studio always looks at the built environment through the lens of transient populations, 在2019年秋天, the studio aimed to specifically engage issues of migration and mobility in the face of sea level rise along coastal Massachusetts.

学生 in Kim's class performed research and 分析 to develop physical models and drawings that they installed and presented at the Year on Climate Change’s conference centered on “Climate Equity and Justice: Solutions in 行动”. Through the course students were given the opportunity to visit coastal Massachusetts to bear witness and imagine, and then develop skills in applied design research, 分析, and techniques to synthesize information from disparate fields.
