Introduktionskurs till miljökommunikation-Samhälle , socialt samspel och kommunikativa färdigheter

Om miljöfrågorna skall kunna hanteras beror till stor del på människors tänkande och handlande och förmåga att lära av sina misstag. Hur en viss naturresurs skall användas (nyttjas eller överutnyttjas) bestäms i samtal och skriftväxling mellan människor. I denna kurs undersöker vi hur människor bildar sig en uppfattning om miljöfrågor, hur de samtalar, förstår och missförstår. Hur uppstår människors attityder och kunskap? Hur fungerar gruppdynamik och hur fungerar kommunikation inom och mellan grupper. Hur går det till då man lär sig något? Kursen är en introduktion till en socialpsykologisk förståelse för naturresurshanteringen. Vi arbetar med studenternas egna upplevelser och erfarenheter i fokus och teorier om kommunikation, lärande, gruppdynamik, attitydförändringar, handling och reflektion illustreras av övningar och tillämpning.

CANVAS page and activating your SLU IT-Student account.


CANVAS is the online course platform where you will find all course materials. To get access to Canvas (as well all other SLU´s digital tools) you need to first activate your SLU IT-student account and get an SLU email. You can do this online from mid-August. The instructions on how to activate the IT account and on how to get started with SLU´s digital tools can be found in the Checklist for new international students or the Checklist for Swedish students (in Swedish)

Once you activate the IT account you will get access to CANVAS platform (find more information about Canvas here). Right now you will not be able to see the course CANVAS page as we are now setting it up. Our goal is to publish the page latest on the 26th of August. Once the page is published you will receive an invitation in your SLU email. You can also access the page through the "Open my Canvas room" link in this page. You will get detailed information on how to use CANVAS on the first day of the course.

Preparations before course start


In this course, we will communicate and you will write a lot. You will also use, mainly social science, theories to understand and change the communication situations we will study and experience. Hence, we recommend you to practice academic writing and to read up books, articles or blog posts introducing modern social theories.

Here is a document with a number of resources about academic writing that would be worth for you to look at or study in order to improve your writing skills. The document is meant for the students of the Environmental Communication and Management programme but it is useful for other students as well.
