Why nitrogen matters—and what social science reveals
Nitrogen is both essential and dangerous. This course traces that paradox: how nitrogen enabled the human population explosion, and why its overuse now threatens ecosystems and health. Rather than stopping at the science, the course asks why people and systems mismanage nitrogen, what solutions sociology and behavioral science suggest, and how policy might change. You'll learn which social science methods apply to nitrogen research and see examples of research that actually influenced policy decisions.
Valuable for environmental professionals, policy researchers, and anyone interested in how social science informs environmental solutions.
