Introduction to Sustainable Development, 7,5 credits
The course is an introduction to sustainable development as a political idea and an analytical concept, and develops an understanding of the role of science and technology by relating it to environmental issues and social change.
Drawing on past and present developments in nature/society the course exemplifies how any chosen event or situation is dependent on the interplay between natural and social processes. The knowledge and perspectives developed in different academic and cultural environments is used as a background for the structure of the programme. In this context the students also develop the academic skills of referencing, analysis, and critical evaluation.
