PSYC 166 SC - Psychology, Sustainability, and Environmental Decision-Making
The 21st Century poses complex challenges to concepts, decisions, and policies involving human and nonhuman nature. Climate change, sustainability, species extinctions, equitable access to clean air, water, and land, along with pollution, environmental injustice, and zero-sum thinking all depend in large part on human emotions, concepts, attitudes, actions, and especially decision-making. In this course, we will study the psychological processes on which decisions about sustainability, climate change, and our environmental futures depend. This seminar course will explore and analyze how changes in human psychology influence environmental decision-making, creating understanding that will facilitate new visions for future decisions.
Prerequisite(s): Introductory Statistics (e.g. PSYC103 SC , ECON120 SC , or equivalent), or instructor’s permission
