You’ll learn how technologies shape identities, relationships, institutions, and inequalities, preparing you for pathways in\u00a0tech governance, responsible AI, user research, and innovation-and-society roles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\tCourses include: If you’re considering careers in\u00a0consulting, HR, organisational development, market research, or finance\/risk<\/strong>, this domain gives you a “people-in-systems” lens for understanding workplaces, organisations, markets, and crises.

It develops cultural literacy and ethnographic sensitivity that’s especially useful for\u00a0community development, heritage\/cultural work, education and outreach, events\/ tourism, and social impact programmes<\/strong>. You’ll explore how meaning and belonging are made through food, ritual, senses, sport, storytelling, and the uncanny.<\/p>\n\tCourses include:<\/strong> If you’re considering pathways in\u00a0sustainability, climate adaptation, ESG\/CSR, environmental policy, or community resilience<\/strong>, this domain helps you understand the human side of environmental change. You’ll examine how risk and uncertainty are experienced differently across social groups, how institutions respond (or fail to), and why environment-society relationships matter for real-world decision-making, especially in climate-affected contexts.<\/p>\n\tCourses include:<\/strong> If you’re interested in\u00a0social justice, DEI, education, community programmes, or public-sector work<\/strong>, this domain provides concepts and cases to navigate real-world diversity with depth and care.
