Course Description: | This course equips students with the skills to recognize, select, and employ some of the key social science theories used in sustainability science. The first part of the course introduces the students to the study of society, and of society’s interactions with nature, thus also demonstrating the specificity of a social scientific perspective on sustainability. The second part of the course examines a range of socioeconomic processes of change in nature-society interactions, thus introducing a different, but often complementary ways to conceptualize change toward sustainability. The course is taught through interactive lectures and tutorials, and makes ample use of real world examples and case studies. The students can expect to be engaged in a diverse range of learning activities which include concept mapping, small group discussions, writing exercises, and hands-on critiques of their own implicit assumptions about nature and society. |
