Master of Arts in Sustainable Development
Program Overview
Sustainable development has come to refer to the challenges of balancing the need to reduce global inequalities with reducing threats to the planet's systems from industrialised production and consumption.
But what ‘sustainable development’ do we have today?
What is its history, how has it developed this way, and what are its possible futures?
The social sciences aim to offer insight on the underlying causes of the challenges of our time, be they:
- social
- political
- economic
- technological
- cultural
Understanding the origin of these problems can help us adapt and transform, leading the way to a more sustainable future.
This is especially important, as we seek to expand environmental care in relation to:
- climate stability
- biodiversity
- the renewal of natural resources
Our multidisciplinary programme addresses sustainable development – as interrelated global and local issues – to examine:
- how societies organise social, economic and political activity
- the social and environmental consequences of current ways of living
- how societies relate to the natural world
- the relationship between current and future generations
- patterns of development
- opportunities for social, political, economic and technological change
Throughout our programme we address many different issues and concepts, including but not limited to:
- social and environmental justice
- sustainable consumption
- economic structures
- food systems
- energy technologies and policies
- governance and democracy
