About this subject
Political ecology is a diverse area of study, professional practice and activism that integrates the pursuit of justice, sustainability and development. Political ecology builds intellectual and emotional clarity by unearthing root causes of environmental problems and guiding transformative actions to address them. Analysing nature and society as one system and employing case studies from around the world, you will: Investigate environmental concerns through a focus on unequal social power. Examine the interplay of political and economic processes in relation to food, water and energy resources. Unpack global power relations between ‘high consumption' (minority world) and 'low consumption' (majority world) societies. Chart actionable paths towards sustainable, equitable and decent futures. The skills of inquiry and knowledge you develop are applicable to careers in government, the private sector and civil society at the intersection of development and environment concerns at scales from the local to the global.
