This is a mandatory course for students in the Master of Environment and Sustainability program that will provide an opportunity for students to explore and develop a thesis topic under the guidance of their supervisor(s). The course will bring students together as part of a larger seminar series on transdisciplinary research methods in environment and sustainability. As part of this, students will be introduced to primary concepts relating to environmental sustainability and the conceptual and methodological tools needed to conduct interdisciplinary research. Students will be expected to develop a research proposal under the guidance of their Master’s thesis supervisor(s), that will include a description of their identified research topic, a literature review and a proposed research methodology.
