New professor and filmmaker Peter Byck shares his story of how he became interested in sustainability and climate change to The Chronicle of Higher Education's Sydni Dunn. Byck is a professor of practice in ASU's School of Sustainability and Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
His first course, Sustainability Storytelling, started this fall and has students creating short documentaries about solar issues in Arizona.
"The sustainability students know the subject but don't know how to tell the stories, and the journalism students know how to share the message but don't have a firm grasp on the details," says Byck. "That's why we brought them together."
