Welcome - Socio-political Dimensions of Resource and Environmental Management ENVI 5500   Socio-political Dimensions of Resource and Environmental Management
CREDIT HOURS: 3
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the social, cultural, and political dimensions regarding resource and environmental management. Key objectives are to introduce, analyze, and utilize a range of frameworks for understanding the human dynamics of resource and environmental management decision-making. Because this course is integrated with ENVI5205 (biophysical dimensions of resource and environmental management) and ENVI5505 (law/policy dimensions of resource and environmental management) in the same term as required for the MREM program, there is a focus on common case studies to demonstrate the interconnectedness of these dimensions. Student groups in this course undertake in-depth investigation of the socio-political elements of resource and environmental management cases in Atlantic Canada.
