Pillars for a Paradigm Change in Chemistry Education
• The UN SDGs to provide real-world
context where students apply classroom
knowledge to understand global
problems and propose solutions.
• Systems Thinking to build cross-disciplinary connections for studying
and understanding complex global challenges (December 2019
Journal of Chemical Education Special Issue).
• Innovative Pedagogical Approaches to better engage students in the
learning process. High Impact Practices - Evidence-based positive
benefits to student learning.
• Green & Sustainable Chemistry to address the grand challenges of
sustainability.

RE-IMAGINING CHEMISTRY EDUCATION:
SYSTEMS THINKING AND
GREEN & SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY
• Key questions:
– How can chemistry education better address emerging global challenges?
– What is the role for systems thinking approaches that move beyond fragmented and reductionist knowledge of disciplinary content to a more integrated and holistic understanding of the field?
– How can systems thinking best inform green & sustainable chemistry education?
– What shared understandings of systems thinking should the community develop to guide that re-imagining?

Careers in Green Chemistry & Engineering Session
• An informative session focused on the numerous, diverse and non-linear career paths
available to students under the general umbrella of green chemistry and engineering.
• Aims to demonstrate the benefits that a background knowledge in green chemistry
and engineering has in the eyes of an employer and the importance of marketing non-
obvious skills to potential employers, e.g. expertise in systems thinking, safety, scale-up
considerations, economics, collaborative approaches, science communication, etc.
• Hope to directly address students’ ubiquitous question of what career options are
available to them, and how they might go about pursuing them.
• Although students are the target audience for this symposium, all audiences would be
welcome, this symposium could be similarly valuable to those further in their career
paths who may find themselves unemployed or otherwise facing a change in
employment. Anyone in established careers with a curiosity to learn about the career
paths that their colleagues have pursued, or mentors to students seeking resources is
also welcomed.
