Courses

This year, I supervise quantitative theses on the following topics:
1) The employment-health dilemma: We will conduct a quantitative diary study on the situation of workers who face two undesirable options - compromising their health or their economic situation. More specifically, we are going to study which factors contribute to this decision situation.
2) Passive and active aggression: We will work on the question how workers respond to passive and active aggression in the workplace applying a diary approach.

The course takes a multi-level perspective on social and environmental sustainability that integrates theoretical and empirical literature from various disciplines (e.g., psychology, social sciences, philosophy). In the first part, the course provides an overview over different methodological and theoretical approaches to the topic, taking a critical perspective on psychology. In the second part, the polycrisis and corresponding inequalities are discussed from various angles (e.g., trigger points, psychosocial effects). The third part addresses various approaches to socio-ecological transformation from a multi-level perspective.
