ENVRES 220:�The Social Ocean: Human Dimensions of Coastal and Marine Ecosystems

Postgraduate course

Project description

This interdisciplinary seminar examines human dimensions of current ocean issues through a series of readings, discussions, and guest lecturer presentations. Through the lenses offered by multiple disciplines and fields, we will examine and reinterpret the challenges of fisheries management, climate change, conservation/restoration, and human rights. We will welcome specialists in industry, academia, law, and the nonprofit sector to discuss theories of change for ocean issues, with a particular emphasis on marine justice. We invite students to create and share their own �Social Ocean Project� synthesizing course themes and personal reflections.
