SUST 6000 - Global Changes and Society

The purpose of this course is to develop an interdisciplinary perspective to explore the complex systems of environmental change and the links to society through a project-based approach. This course will encourage students (a) to analyze critically - and reflect deeply about - the complex interconnections among social, economic, and environmental systems; (b) to appreciate the value of diverse perspectives and collaborative approaches to sustainability; and (c) imagine and implement visions of sustainable practices and values through the translation of knowledge of sustainability into interdisciplinary actions for sustainability.
