Course content
In the MA Anthropology of the Environment and Sustainability, we tackle the most urgent challenges of our times, offering students the opportunity to explore, communicate and address them as engaged global citizens.
We ask fundamental questions about what it is to be human in a complex and ever-changing world, critically questioning existing assumptions and knowledge, and productively thinking about how to create a more just and sustainable world. The programme equips students with the theoretical and methodological tools to understand crises of climate change, sustainability, and global inequalities, as well as the experience, skills, and hands-on opportunities to influence policy and practice and to live prosperously in an unprecedented future.
