About the course
This course provides a practical entry point to real-world sustainability challenges through literature drawn from natural and social sciences and the humanities, interdisciplinary theory, and from insights into cases of complex sustainability issues and social movements around the world. The course highlights and problematises the major relevant critical perspectives on sustainability and aims to go beyond simplified notions of sustainability. There is a strong focus on building collaborations with local communities with the aim of creating projects that are solutions-oriented.
The course is suitable to study along with the course A Sustainable Future: Theory and Transdisciplinary Visions, which runs concurrently, to get the opportunity to work with theory and practice in tandem. The courses can be applied together as the course package A Sustainable Future, 30 credits.
