Cover Story: The growing relevance of Socio-Ecological Systems (SESs) thinking reflects both the challenges of an anthropogenic poly crisis and attempts to understand the complexities of societal development in an era of globalisation. The article develops a variant of SESs thinking through a review of the literature on ‘Learning Ecologies’ to assess the strengths and limitations of this human ecological approach. Perceived limitations are addressed by developing a Social Ecosystem Model (SEM), which adds a ‘political economy and ecology’ dimension to the learning ecologies concept. The expanded human ecosystem model is then applied to an analysis of learning and skills in the English context, in support of an inclusive and place-based approach to vocational education and training.
