HOD-845 Social and Ecological Sustainability: Theory and Practice4 semester credits
Students examine concepts of sustainability, cultural differences in notions of sustainability, indigenous thinking about sustainability, and national and global efforts to come up with common standards. Topics include a critical and historical look at corporate social responsibility (CSR), the “triple bottom line,” ideas of “shared value,” and other sustainability efforts, using case studies to generate a hands-on understanding of what works, what hasn’t worked, and what can be done to improve existing approaches. Readings may include such scholars as Arne Naess, Thomas Hylland Erickson, and Richard Appelbaum. Based on availability, leading practitioners in the field will share their experiences in some online phone calls.
