THE ELLIOTT ALLEN INSTITUTE FOR THEOLOGY & ECOLOGY (EAITE)
In expressing a concern for the ecological crisis of the planet, the Elliott Allen Institute for Theology and Ecology (EAITE) seeks integrative methods for contributing to the healing of the Earth in all its life systems. Interdisciplinary in design, the EAITE facilitates serious contact between the theological and ecological disciplines as well as the scientific, cosmological, and cultural paradigm shifts that are informing our times. It also offers a Certificate of Specialization in Theology and Ecology in most of the graduate programs at the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael’s College. Students may complete this specialization concurrently with their studies in the MDiv, MRE, MTS, MACL, ThM and doctoral degree programmes. General requirements include at least two core courses and up to six further courses, including interdisciplinary, paradigm and eco-issue courses. Specific requirements vary slightly according to the student’s program of enrolment.
Interested students may obtain more information at http://www.utoronto.ca/stmikes/eaite/index.html or contact the Director of the Elliott Allen Institute for Theology & Ecology, Dr. Dennis O’Hara at eaite.contact@utoronto.ca.
