BACHELOR OF ARTS (ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES)

The environment refers to everything that surrounds us, including human beings. Under such a broad umbrella, environmental studies encompasses the study of how human beings connect with the physical structures, institutions and economies we build, the politics, language and culture by which we communicate, and the planet and its intricate variety of living and non-living elements and processes. Environmental Studies is rooted in questions that include:

What role does scientific knowledge have in environmental decision-making
How will humans adapt to the conflict between an economy based on growth and a planet with finite resources
Are nature and culture separate concepts
How are economic exploitation, environmental justice and environmental racism linked
What are the distinctions between environmental policy and environmental politics
Who defines what constitutes an "environmental issue
Who benefits, and pays, for environmental reform
How do we systematically address environmental problems that may be unsystematic
