Sustainability and Global Environmental Futures Lancaster University

Overview

The  Sustainability and Global Environmental Futures course from Lancaster University  analyses the relationship between people and the environment. Using critical concepts, theories and practices drawn from across the arts, humanities, and social and natural sciences, you’ll learn tools that will enable you to unpick the complexity of human and non-human interests in environmental futures.

You’ll engage with educational, scientific, legal and regulatory approaches to dealing with global issues such as violences, sites of trauma and conflict, inequalities, poverty and environmental injustice. You'll explore the past, present and future of environmental change, including topics such as global environmental politics, and environmental crisis and societal change.

Through a variety of modules, you’ll be encouraged to draw on different disciplines and consider issues from the perspectives of diverse stakeholders and seek context-specific solutions.
