Do you want to understand one of the defining social issues of the age? Do you want to learn how humans interact with and shape nature? Are you interested in the ways you can contribute to and change the world as a citizen-consumer?
Contemporary debates about climate change, concerns about the degradation of the environment, threats to biodiversity and the concomitant challenges to human health and well-being have placed the natural environment – non-human nature – at the centre of political deliberation and campaigning, both nationally and internationally. This module will explore the links between a growing consciousness of the natural environment fostered by policy makers, environmental and conservation organisations, writers, academics and the everyday feelings about and engagement with the environment by a lay public.
