The Social Ecology sub-major explores the rich diversity of relationships between the individual, society and environment. Social Ecology unites theory and practice, social sciences, arts and physical sciences. It provides a transdisciplinary approach to learning and research emphasising reflective thinking, criticality, creativity, aesthetics, participation and communication. Students develop skills in ecologically informed analysis, social and environmental action, transformative education and research, with an emphasis on sustainability, social change and leadership.
The sub-major in Social Ecology is available as an elective package to students across all degrees. Students may also choose any Social Ecology unit as a single elective.
Students in the Bachelor of Arts who choose to package their electives to obtain the named major or sub-major in Social Ecology must be enrolled in a Key Program in Humanities, Languages or Psychology. As an elective sequence, the Social Ecology major and sub-major is not a required component for graduation from the Bachelor of Arts.
