EAS 501.037 - Sustainability and Supply Chains

Description

This course introduces graduate students to the interdisciplinary study of global supply chains and their environmental and social implications. Drawing on perspectives from economic geography, sociology, data science, and environmental policy, students will analyze how supply chains shape sustainability outcomes across sectors and regions. We will examine key issues such as technological disruption, corporate power, state regulation, and market-based governance, as well as contemporary debates on traceability, certification, and Scope 3 emissions. The course emphasizes both conceptual foundations and applied methods, combining lectures, case studies, and interactive exercises. Deliverables include a midterm exam, a group case study project, and a fi nal exam. Guest speakers from academia, industry, and government will provide additional insight into how supply chain sustainability is being advanced in practice.
