About the course package

The two courses run concurrently to get the opportunity to work with theory and practice in tandem.

In the course A Sustainable Future: Theory and Transdisciplinary Visions, we explore the concept of sustainability and how we can create sustainable cultures in our complex world. Sustainability challenges resist disciplinary categories and simple solutions. This course provides an introduction to real-world, complex sustainability challenges through literature drawn from natural and social sciences and the humanities, interdisciplinary theory, and from insights into cases of sustainability issues around the world.

The course A Sustainable Future: Transdisciplinary Practices provides a practical entry point to real-world sustainability challenges through literature drawn from natural and social sciences and the humanities, from 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.
