This unit offers multidisciplinary perspectives to understanding global environmental issues, in particular those created by human activities. As the impact of any issue is first felt at the local level, your studies will commence in Tasmania with the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge, and the incorporation of Palawa knowledge and scholarship in the curriculum. Following your exploration of the topic at the local level, the core of this unit is a fully funded three-week trip in an Indo-Pacific country, supported by pre-trip and post-trip learning and support activities in an integrated face-to-face and virtual classroom. Embracing the multidisciplinary nature of international sustainability efforts, you will be able to tailor your learning experience in relation to your own discipline or area of study. The immersive, in-country experience will help you understand environmental issues holistically, including the social, cultural, economic and political contexts of different countries. Working with local leaders, civil society members, and supported by academics with research and network connections to the host organisations, you will evaluate human impacts on natural environments and how physical, economic, social and technological factors affect global sustainability solutions, as well as interpret observed environmental challenges and responses in their place-specific circumstances. Additionally, you will build cross-cultural awareness, learn basic conversational skills in the main language of your host country (e.g., Bahasa or Vietnamese), and develop self-reflexive skills to learn about yourself and your own perspectives. You will have the opportunity to understand the dynamic and ever-changing responses different societies have to their natural and built environments. This will help you develop cross-cultural understanding and perspectives in your self-development, and build awareness of the importance of Southeast Asia to Australia. In doing so, you will contrast Tasmania, and Australia, to another country, and cultivate a deeper appreciation of Tasmania’s place in the world.
