Top-Down Perspectives in Sustainability Psychology: From Change Agency to Local Impact
Franziska Kößler
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.
