I'm recently back from the AASHE conference in Pittsburgh, where I talked about the class that inspired <em>The Nature of College, </em>and conspired with me to write it. Students fact-checked it against their own experience, and they edited to make sure it wasn't a boring textbook. If you'd like to see a transcript of the talk, <a href="http://natureofcollege.org/essays/the-ecologicians-teaching/environmental-studies-222-campus-ecology/campus-ecology-and-the-nature-of-college/">look here.</a>
