Environmental and social issues 26-27 S2

This course examines environmental and social issues through a systemic approach based on a case study. Students first explore the case to identify actors, interactions and key issues, and then analyze its different dimensions through videos and readings. They also have the opportunity to exchange with their professeur via a weekly forum. The course concludes with a student’s critical viewpoint on a controversial question, allowing them to synthetise the concepts and perspectives studied throughout the module.
