About this Unit
'Human Ecology and Global Citizenship' provides a foundation for the development of responsible social and ecological relationships. It examines the roots of our social and ecological planetary emergencies, and seeks effective ways to respond to and avoid such crises. Theoretical models and case studies are used to illustrate the application of social ecological design principles to human systems and endeavours. It emphasises working with complexity, social justice, and the interconnections (and perceived tensions) between environmental and social concerns and human wellbeing.
