Surviving the Future: The Seven Revolutions Initiative as a Strategic Model for Curricular and Institutional Innovation
The course, entitled Seven Revolutions, will center on seven issues that will change the way we live through the year 2025: population, resources, technology, knowledge, economic integration, world conflict and governance.
The Seven Revolutions initiative is a partnership between CSIS, an international policy center in Washington, D.C., The New York Times, and eight AASCU member institutions.
