CRITICAL THINKING
IN OUR GLOBAL
COMMUNITY
massey.ac.nz/cohss
11
Just as digital technology connects the planet, population pressures and climate
change increasingly threaten its future. In this context, it can be argued that the
approaches we must adopt to living in this century challenge us to be adaptive,
responsive and engaged citizens. Massey researchers are seeking to resolve the
impact of this emergent new model in the social dynamic and provide meaningful
contributions to inform the debate and offer people-focused research to support
developments that will enrich our future lives.
"Studying politics in New Zealand is particularly great. Being a small country means
that it is a lot easier to get in touch with government and councils to gain information,
develop connections and participate at a local level.
"The lecturers at Massey are incredibly supportive and always on hand to answer
questions and address any concerns."
