I asked a friend who has just finished a degree in sociology whether environmental issues was discussed in the three years she was there. Over the three years, climate change was a module option for half a term, but that's it.
I've only started looking into studying sociology as a discipline, but I've been looking into connections with issues of climate change, and its surprised me to find that in comparison to other topics its hardly mentioned.
I'm aware that sociology is not the answer to issues of climate change, but is it not important to address all avenues to solve a problem of such a scale?
This brings up lots to discuss for me, like why is there a lack of interest among sociologists?
Environmental Issues are a major point in current discussions and if anyone thinks that sociology could be useful, it would be great to hear why or why not!
