Rethinking Resource Management - GEOP340
This unit challenges students seeking careers in environmental management and planning 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 environmental management and planning. Students have opportunities in this unit to pursue in depth, specific interests in particular resource conflicts.
