Sociology Of Green Transformations

AY2022/2023 Semester 1

This course aims to equip students with the skills to critically understand the key debates surrounding the current transformations towards a 'green' economy. Students will learn how to assess economic and policy material by applying important sociological and interdisciplinary perspectives in evaluating market-based environmental solutions and the idea of the circular economy. Students will also have the opportunity to explore and apply ESG criteria as part of financial analysis and contextualize market-based solutions through a sociological lens, focusing on access and inequality. Students interested in working in sustainability policy, sustainability reporting, or who have an interest in green finance/economy should take this course.
