Now and again, ecologists shake off any reputation as tree-hugging, always-getting-along-well, aligned-in-cause. Instead, they get involved in a good ‘ole disagreement, flinging barbs back and forth in the journals, and elsewhere. We considered controversies that address the biological and cultural relationships between people and their environments as well as classical ecological controversies. During the course students :
- Developed and presented their deep understanding of a controversy.
- Increased their synthetic and critical thinking competencies.
- Thought creatively about resolving controversies.
- Probed the role of controversies for diverse impacts of research.
- Increased skills across diverse dissemination pathways. Instructors included a range of international experts in a range of controversies and also across the competencies.
