Gaia University to
Launch Doctoral
Program
As of 2010 Gaia
University will be offering a Doctoral program!
The program will
be open to all Associates who have completed a Masters level degree with
Gaia U. Students holding Masters degrees from other Universities are
equally welcome to apply, and will be required to complete one-year in a
post-graduate program with Gaia University. If you don’t have a Masters
degree, but know you’d like to participate in Gaia U’s Doctoral
Program, it would be a good time to apply for a Masters degree with
us.
Interested? Read our website and fill out the online
application form (www.gaiauniversity.org).

Gaia University Welcomes
Indigenous
Associates
This winter
Gaia University will welcome it’s first
two Australian Indigenous Associates, Annette and Alwyn, through the
United
Nations University Traditional Knowledge Initiative.
Gaia
University graduate Ian Nigh, highlighted in our last newsletter, has been
working on initiatives for “bridging epistemologies,” supporting the
recognition of traditional knowledge and finding points of collaboration
between traditional forms of knowledge and western science.This project has
evolved to include the introduction of Gaia U’s Action-Learning programs
in Indigenous community groups as a means to find points of resonance
between the Gaia U framework and the traditional forms of knowledge in
these communities.
Orientation in the Virgin Islands, December
2009
The first Gaia
University Orientation in the
Caribbean will be held this December at the Virgin
Islands Sustainable Farms Institute (VISFI).
Speaking with founder
and director Ben Jones via skype from the VISFI Community Centre, over a
consistent hum and buzz of human activity, there was a definite sense of
VISFI as a bustling group of world changers with plenty of knowledge and
enthusiasm to share!
VISFI is in the process of becoming Gaia U’s
Regional Center for the Caribbean.
For students looking to complete their Permaculture Design Certificates
before their Gaia Orientation, VISFI will be offering a PDC course in
November-a great excuse to head for the islands a bit early!
