ESS870 System Thinking and Transformative Social Systems in Sustainability
This introduction to systems thinking in the context of sustainability issues will introduce students to both core sustainability content and systems thinking skills. We will focus attention particularly on issues of global resource flows, energy, toxicity and habitat. In addition we offer direction on how to transform social systems toward sustainability, taking the organization and its value chain as the primary level of analysis. Given the experiential nature of the course, students will be required to complete a personal sustainability project of their choosing in their organizational setting.
