2015 Team Presentations
Below are links to the final presentations by the six student teams in ENV 202 in 2015. The assignment was similar to 2015, although the students were given a specific structure for their presentations. They begin with a review of the insights from their discipline-based literature reviews, then discuss their interdisciplinary insights on their topic by analyzing the gaps and interactions between their disciplines. The presentations then take a transdisciplinary perspective by discussing the voices of non-academic actors (e.g. communities, businesses, policymakers, the media) and presenting an integrated model of the factors relevant to their topic. The presentations conclude with a summary of the implications of the students’ research for policymakers and citizens. This year all of the presentations are focused on an environmental issue in North Carolina.

2014 Team Presentations
Below are links to the final presentations created by the six student teams in ENV 202 in 2014. The assignment was to summarize the relevant contributions of past social science research and provide policy recommendations based on that research. The objective of these presentations is to successfully integrate the insights of discipline-based research with an interdisciplinary understanding of the environmental issue in question.
