Overview
This Environment and Society module from The Open University UK starts with investigating how social science perspectives change the way we understand and respond to the major environmental challenges of our time.
You'll explore how understandings of environment and society had profound and unequal consequences for people and ecosystems across the planet, in the age of the Anthropocene.
You'll also explore ways of understanding environmental and societal issues that are entangled in cultural, economic, social, and political terms and look at how these can provide the resources required to value environments differently and to build new models of responsibility required to navigate the Anthropocene.
