and IDS 130-B700 Climate and Complexities of Societal Change Understanding global climate change requires knowledge not only of the scientific concepts involved but also of the complicating social factors. Citizens and leaders must understand the science behind the issue before they can make informed decisions; scientists must understand the social forces affecting their research. Working across the disciplines of biology and environmental studies, we will explore the responses of biological systems to current and past climate change, the societal and psychological impacts of the climate issue, and creative responses to concerns about the future of the environment and humanity.
