Course Description:
This course provides an multidisciplinary examination of the key issues surrounding, and strategies for achieving, sustainable development. Organised around a series of core sustainability issues (for example, food security, climate change, waste, consumption, energy) the course explores how different perspectives (ecological modernisation, practices approaches, ecofeminism, environmental justice etc.) provide different interpretations and possible courses of action. Students will examine the sustainability of current social and political practices as well as the opportunities for change (on the local to global level).
