Introduction

SEEP (Socio-Ecological Economics and Policy) provides its students with an interdisciplinary understanding of value conflicts, societal complexities and barriers to and opportunities for a social-ecological transformation.

Instead, alternatives are needed that come from learning to think 'outside the box'.
