Sustainability Courses

Introduces students to the legal and ethical dimensions of data analytics, data mining, predictive analytics and related techniques, collectively big data. Rapidly evolving technologies and the increasingly complex collection, aggregation, analysis and use of data creates opportunities for financial gain and social good, but also for dangers in areas such as privacy, discrimination, and violations of basic human dignity. This course will be framed as a contextual examination of what law exists t...

The built environment is a rich landscape for innovation to improve law and society, and in the case of confronting climate change, seeking to preserve a viable future for us. This course threads together two societal goals that intersect with the built environment minimizing the impact of climate change and increasing the communication networks that connect us all as Americans. Our course will therefore focus on: i) climate-driven impacts on the built real estate environment, and ii) a review o...
