SCNC2201: optimism and agency in times of change
This new course at The Australian National University invites students into a workshop environment with guest speakers from inside and outside the university.
Learn about the wide range of ways of contributing to global challenges, find directions that fit with your strengths and interests, and develop a sense of agency and empowerment.
This course focuses on positive engagement with issues and solution-oriented action. You will come away with increased clarity about the directions available to you, and an increased capacity to make a difference.
Wildbark Visitor Centre
Wildbark Visitor Centre sits at the edge of Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary, Australia’s largest area of box-gum grassy-woodland managed for conservation.
Wildbark acts as a gateway to >1,200 ha of fox-free bushland, giving you the opportunity to spot animals that haven’t existed in the wild on mainland Australia for over a century. Join a Twilight Tour for a guided spotlighting experience in the woodlands, enjoy dinner at the Wildbark Kitchen or meet their resident lizards. Wildbark is a place to bring the community together to experience nature at its finest and discover how we can turn the tide on extinction.
The Coexistence Conservation Lab runs seminars, lectures, and workshops (including for BIOL3178) from Wildbark, and also uses it as a functional hub for fieldwork.
