Course description
Environmental problems occurring with drastic economic growth in the latter half of the 20th century has deepened as a whole global ecological crisis now. Diverse movements which unite and synthesize economy, society and the environment have broadened around the world, and societies where human beings can live together with nature have been proposed and discussed. In this course, we will approach and think about the possibility of such societies.
*This course is included in the department's specialized courses.
