The course design responds to the profound economic and political challenges for contemporary society posed by the complexity of environmental change. It recognizes that addressing these challenges with require new ways of thinking underpinned by intellectual rigor, innovation and flexibility, as well as the capacity to think across existing disciplinary boundaries. This course equips students with a theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded understanding of the dynamic relations between environment, society and policy. Our hope is that it will equip students with the knowledge, insight and confidence to indentify and re-cast key questions in environmental governance thereby becoming future thought-leaders and innovators in the field.
