Course Description:
Natural systems are complex and resilient: the natural world around us, and our own bodies and brains. Can a deeper appreciation for nature's complexity help us navigate an uncertain future? Can a deeper connection with nature improve our health? These are old questions with new urgency: a changing climate, ongoing loss and degradation of natural systems, and a world that is more interconnected than ever. Healthy brains and a sufficient network self-sustaining, climate-regulating ecosystems are needed for our long-term survival and for individual and community wellbeing. This course will review and discuss recent international interdisciplinary research and conference proceedings and discuss practical implications for individual and community wellbeing. |
