InTeGrate community leaders/speakers list [under construction]
Below is our list of active community members and leaders in the InTeGrate project.
This list is broadly organized by topic to help you identify the right people to address your needs.
Teaching with InTeGrate pedagogy & philosophy
InTeGrate is a community effort to improve interdisciplinary geoscience teaching using sustainability as a theme. The following are community members who are leaders and experts on InTeGrate's motivating goals, pedagogies, and how to put those pedagogies into action.
[need a subheader]:
- Kim Kastens
- Cathy Manduca
- Anne Egger
- Jennifer Hanselman
Interdisciplinary teaching using sustainability as a theme:
- Jennifer Sliko (Anne Egger recommends her for leading a workshop, or developing online materials in collaboration with Laura Wright (English professor) that are focused on interdisciplinary teaching using sustainability as a theme)
- Ed Barbanell & Steve Burian (may be a good pair to talk about interdisciplinary teaching; the two have team taught a course that was featured at one or two ITG workshops)
Teaching with InTeGrate-developed modules:
- Lisa Gilbert (Natural Hazards and Risks: Hurricanes module)
- Josh Galster (Natural Hazards and Risks: Hurricane module)
- Mike Phillips (Mapping the Environment with Sensory Perception module)
- Steve Burian (Water Sustainability in Cities module)
- Bob MacKay (Earth's Thermostat module)
- Cindy Shellito (Climate of Change team)
- Cynthia Fadem (Climate of Change team)
- Becca Walker (Climate of Change team)
- Rachel Teasdale (Living on the Edge team)
- Laurel Goodell (Living on the Edge team)
- Hannah Scherer (Growing Concern (soils) team)
- Sarah Fortner (Growing Concern (soils) team)
- Martha Murphy (Growing Concern (soils) team))
- Gigi Richard (Food Security course, with T. Bralower)
- Josh Villalobos (Environmental Justice and Freshwater Resources)
Using data to answer societally important questions:
- Luisa Bradtmiller and Kirsten Menking (Earth Modeling course; speak on quant reasoning and/or modeling?)
- Beth Pratt-Sitaula (GETSI; speak on using data to answer societally important questions)
Improving learning with the InTeGrate materials design rubric:
- David Steer
- Ellen Iverson
Program design that allows science in the context of society
Improving interdisciplinary geoscience teaching nationwide requires program-level support. What are program designs that help to link sustainability across the curriculum? The following are community members who are leaders in this realm.
InTeGrate's implementation programs:
- Cailin Huyck Orr
Linking sustainability across the curriculum:
Sarah Fortner
Assistant Professor of Geology and Environmental Science, Wittenberg University, OH

[need subheader]:
- Hannah Scherer
- Diane Doser (University of Texas at El Paso, TX)
- Ed Geary (Washington State Colleges and Universities consortium, WA)
- Laura Guertin (Pennsylvania State University at Brandywine, PA)
- Sue Ebanks
Supporting success for all students
[Can we adapt the following headline, which is from InTeGrate's Support the Whole Student page?] "There are many moving parts to supporting all kinds of students. It is necessary for individual faculty and staff as well as whole departments to keep some important key issues in mind as they envision how to move their students successfully through the program all the way to graduation"
- Felicia Davis -- Sustainability at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) or more broadly--?
- Diane Doser -- working with Hispanic students
- Cathy Manduca -- supporting the whole student (can we explain what this means?)
- Deborah Gross -- broadening access cohorts (FOCUS program at Carleton)
- Camelia Kantor
- Laura Guertin
- Sue Ebanks (possibly with Jolvan Morris and Carol Pride)
- Stefany Sit
- Josh Villalobos
Creating capacity for change
We need strategies for supporting faculty as well as strategies for making institutional change in order to teach geoscience for better earth literacy and a more prepared workforce. The following are community members who are leaders in this realm.
Supporting faculty via teacher preparation:
- Sarah Fortner (Teaching circles at Whittenberg University, OH)
- Ed Geary (WA NextGen STEM teacher prep group; interested in scaling up change)
- Scott Linneman
- Jim Ebert
Institutional change for a more sustainable future:
- Judith Ramaley
- William Hoyt
- Julie Bartley and Laura Triplett (they can be under "program design..." too)
Perhaps tap into SAGE project group?
Becca Walker, Elizabeth Nagy-Shadman, Pete Berquist?
Speakers for other topics (TBD topics)
- Ellen Metzer
- Kathy Baldwin
- Scott Linneman or Jim Ebert on teacher prep
Faculty who are good at sharing how they assess student learning (without getting bogged down in edu-speak)
- Mary Savina, Carleton
- Julie Bartley, Gustavus Adolphus
- Lisa (Melissa) Lamb, St. Thomas
- Karen Viskupic, Boise Sate
- David Steer, University of Akron
