He was the first Boldt Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Humanities at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where he teaches Campus Ecology, a course that makes students the subject of their own environmental studies. He also speaks to colleges around the country about “greening” college culture and the moral ecology of everyday life.
