  The course provides a basis for understanding eco-social changes: theoretical frameworks, debates and social initiatives related to global and local challenges. The course gives an overview of key concepts, main debates and conceptual genealogies and directions regarding the complex relations between ecological and social conditions and dimensions. We explore key issues regarding the relations between society and environment and how these relationships can be conceptualised.
