Role of Science & Scientists in Collaborative Approaches to Environmental Policy Making: Course Description
Through lecture notes and readings, students taking the 'Role of Science & Scientists in Collaborative Approaches to Environmental Policy Making' course will examine the ways in which society's interest in environmental issues can shape national policies and regulations affecting natural resources and ecosystem. MIT Professor Herman Karl argues that science is one of many factors that are considered in society decisions. Thus, scientists must learn to collaborate with natural resource agencies in their research. Lectures cover themes such as the role of science in society and the evolution of science in societal decisions. Students will also learn the challenges associated with the implementation of new environmental policies. This graduate-level course is meant for students who are interested in urban studies and planning.
