Core Courses
Introduction to Sustainable Development
This is an existing Master's level course convened by the Sustainability
Institute at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. The aim of the
course is to provide course participants with an overview of the most
significant global environmental, social and economic challenges that face
humankind, and an insight into the solutions suggested by the universal
commitment to sustainable development. The key questions that guide
the lectures and discussions are:
What does sustainability – and sustainable development in particular -
mean?
What is the relationship between inequality and unsustainability? Or,
alternatively, what is the relationship between strategies to reduce
inequality (via poverty eradication for the poor and consumption
reduction for the rich) and sustainable development?
What is the relationship between human life and all life forms and how
has this relationship evolved over time?
The course combines classroom work, a group project for completion
during the week, written assignments, personal reflection, and practical
involvement in local community projects.
Strategic Social Engagement Practice
This course is convened by Elspeth Donovan of the University of Cambridge
Institute for Sustainable Leadership on behalf of the UCT Graduate
