Innovative Perspectives for Next Generation Sustainable Transformations

Transformational strategies are urgently required to address a new generation of complex, interconnected sustainability challenges, including climate change, social inequality and large-scale ecological degradation. This course equips students with the analytical tools and capabilities to devise, engage and drive disruptive innovation. Through diverse perspectives, including social, environmental, business, and Indigenous viewpoints, students will identify enabling conditions and barriers to transformation including worldviews, assumptions, and biases that shape competing sustainability claims. Through real-world case studies in geopolitics, technology, and business, students will analyse how disruptive innovation can reshape workplaces, communities, and international contexts in ethical, just, and future-focused ways.
