Abstract	Population dynamics, broadly defined, can be effectively taught in an interdisciplinary fashion. This course for junior and senior undergraduates is taught by an anthropologist, biologist, demographer, economist, and geographer. It is 75 percent lecture, 25 percent panel discussion with film presentations and has been used successfully as an NSF funded summer institute for teachers. The course content is divided into three areas: first, human evolution and its corresponding cultural and demographic factors; second, man's existence in relation to environmental factors and economic considerations; third, political activities and practical methods for limiting population, including moral and ethical considerations. Educators in population should realize that they are committed to changing values as well as clarifying them. The incorporation of population education in our schools is a particular goal for that reason. Process education which emphasizes "doing" to promote "understanding" is another important concept for furthering the population educationist's goals. (JH)
