Disciplinary Group Diagrams

For this task, the participants were split into disciplinary-esque groups to think about how the big ideas in sustainability overlap with the big ideas in their disciplines. The following Venn diagrams were the product of the session. After posting, the participants conducted a Gallery Walk to look at and comment on the different diagrams.
