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.
Overview
Human Dimensions
The Human Dimensions program in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln strives to build a strong scientific base for understanding and affecting human thought toward natural and managed environments, with the goal of improving stewardship of ecosystems and natural resources.
Faculty
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."
Overview
Collaboration
Social scientists from other departments collaborate with SNR to teach and advise students as part of the human dimension graduate specialization. Participating faculty in other units, offer a range of natural resource and social science study, allowing students to design individualized programs.
