On our Global Sustainable Futures MA you'll critically explore new spatial possibilities for social justice, sustainable development and empowerment of marginalised groups around the world.
You'll develop new in-depth knowledge by addressing vital questions: What is meant by ‘sustainability’, and how does it apply to different spatial contexts? What are ‘global issues’ and what can we do to address them locally? Where are global issues located, and which are most pressing in what places? Can individuals make a difference, or can global challenges only be addressed by global governance and cooperation? What other kinds of worlds are possible? How can we ensure that sustainable futures will benefit all, in a just society?
