IHS8801


 * Summary of 8801 - did it live up to my expectations? **

At the completion of Unit 1 of my IHS Graduate Certificate (8801 -Orientation to Integrated Human Studies), I find myself in a surprisingly different place to that which I’d imagined at the outset. Clearly, it is the intention of this study programme to provide students with a broad and richly varied exposure to 21st century humanity issues and understandings. I entered the course with a strong focus on environment. While this passion endures, I now find myself with a far more holistic view of human issues, one being inextricable from another. We cannot consider environmental degradation without confronting globalisation. Our understanding of human futures is greatly enhanced by an appreciation of our past. Social justice issues lie at the heart of our present social construct.

Unit 1 has opened my eyes to this web of information and more subtle complexities I hadn’t previously considered. It has enriched me, expanded my interests and options for future directions - and in some ways this makes my next steps more challenging! However, I relish the challenge and am excited by my rediscovered hunger for learning.
