This class seeks to enable participants to work collaboratively with the instructor and each other to:
* Master life cycle assessment (LCA), through hands-on experience and a real-world project using state-of-the-art LCA software and databases, optionally collaborating with LCA practitioners and students in other continents; and
* Understand the methods and field of LCA, not as a static tool or discipline but as a young, dynamic, changing method of inquiry and knowing, in the larger context of sustainable development discourses, influenced by economic forces, civil society, organizations, and even individual personalities.
