Education

Education is one of the most important tools at our disposal to promote a sustainable society. The Education stream focuses on improving educational programs, materials and strategies to drive ecological justice and social change.

Train people to become agents of change within their organizations, communities and institutions. Create multidisciplinary learning environments and motivate change.

Using emerging, critical, place-based educational theories, we work across traditional discipline boundaries. Understandings of historical, philosophical, socio-cultural, and psychological influences on environmental decision making are developed. We also study models of social transformation, community organisation, project management and conflict resolution, working collaboratively to create effective communication.

Integrate the use of multidimensional and multifaceted tools such as qualitative and quantitative risk analysis, impact assessment, monitoring, biostatistics and epidemiological analysis, in practices such as environmental science, public health, environmental planning and environmental engineering.

You can expect to find employment in positions related to education, such as environmental training officer positions in corporations, government agencies, in consulting companies, in teaching and in development agencies.
