PSC 365, ENVR 365 - Global Sustainability Issues

G, Z, 4 credits. E2.

This course examines two general categories of global issues – sustainable development and ecological sustainability – and the various interpretive perspectives that offer understandings of each. Integrating the contributions of several disciplines, we examine the historical origins and future trends of these problems, their causes and consequences, and their potential solutions. In addition, students will learn a variety of transferable skills, including the ability to construct policies and negotiate differences among competing interests. This course can also count toward the global studies program and the environmental studies program.
