Abstract

To prepare future leaders to tackle the rapidly changing challenges of climate change, complex inequality, resource depletion, etc., planning education and research must draw from new languages, new knowledge, and new partnerships. Planning education and research should privilege skills of code-switching and incorporate learning through change-oriented projects that lead to more reflective and empathetic outcomes.
