This programme is designed for students who are interested in gaining advanced knowledge of contemporary theoretical and conceptual debates concerning relationships between environment, nature, culture and society. Drawing on expertise from across the University, and especially from geography, philosophy, theology, science and technology studies and development studies, the programme provides students with the opportunity to study the environment from a critical, multidisciplinary perspective.
Students will have the opportunity to engage with key topics of both theoretical and practical importance to understanding the environment, such as: human-nature interactions; social and cultural practices which shape environment and nature; philosophical and theological approaches to environment (eg ethical, aesthetic and spiritual values); and debates concerning conservation practice and concepts of nature, wilderness and environment.
Learning Outcomes Students will develop research skills and generate new knowledge in multidisciplinary studies related to the environment. Students will also develop the ability to assess the importance and implications of geographical, philosophical and other theoretical debates for environmental policy and practice.
Contents
The programme offers a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, essays or projects and a dissertation.
