Course description

This course explores contemporary understandings and practical implications of the idea of sustainable development. Throughout the semester we investigate the meanings and measures that different groups have given to sustainable development; explore tools for analyzing the complex social-environmental systems that we seek to develop sustainably; and examine how societies have avoided depleting resources while instituting practical action that advances sustainable development effectively and equitably.
