As a special topics course, the theme and content will vary with every offering. Some examples of course topics include Climate change, Biodiversity, Gender Equity, Poverty Alleviation, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Corporate Social Responsibility. This course will explore the diversity of approaches, ideas and concepts related to the theme. Students will be exposed to both social and natural science perspectives through in-class lectures and discussions, as well as regular guest lecturers. A major end-of-term project requiring the application of theories and methodologies from their chosen area of focus (science of management/social science) is required.
