INSPIRE 2GS3 - Global Questions in Sustainability

3 unit(s)

All questions surrounding sustainability and sustainable development are interdisciplinary in nature. This course aims to bring together the perspectives from students from all academic areas to explore sustainability as a global concern by gathering insight from academic experts and applying that knowledge to their thoughts and perceptions of what sustainability is and ultimately should be. Through a series of asynchronous lectures students will have a unique opportunity to hear the perspectives of multiple questions of sustainability from academic experts across academia. In following the mantra of ‘Think globally, act locally’ students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in the course towards assessing and proposing solutions to local questions of sustainability.
