ENVG340: Resource Management

This unit challenges students seeking careers in resource management to examine the social, political, economic and cultural consequences of resource management decisions. Using local, international and global case studies, many drawing on the experiences of Indigenous peoples, this unit offers students new ways of seeing resource management systems, new ways of thinking about the geopolitics of resources, and a range of practical skills and applied examples. It requires students to engage with ethical and practical questions, and deals with institutional decision making and social theory relevant to resource management. Students have opportunities in this unit to pursue in-depth, specific interests in particular resource conflicts.
