Overview
Human Dimensions
Human Dimensions is inherently interdisciplinary, encompassing both physical and social sciences. Human Dimensions draws upon the insights of social science and the humanities, the capabilities of law and the pragmatism of policymaking to understand and account for people in both managed and unmanaged ecosystems.

Donna Woudenberg
Donna Woudenberg remembers when the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln first started discussing the Human Dimensions specialization. "I thought, this sounds like they're actually writing it for me!" she recalled. "It's exactly what I'm interested in and what I want to do."
