Communicating sustainability in cities (Projekt)
Dozent/in: Jennifer Fandrich, Viola Hakkarainen
Termin:
wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 14:15 - 17:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 16.223 Seminarraum
Inhalt: This transdisciplinary project course explores how communication can drive sustainability transformations in urban environments. Cities play an essential role in shaping sustainable futures, and effective communication through campaigns, public events, digital tools, and place-based interventions can significantly influence public engagement, awareness, and behaviour. Working closely with a practice partner, the City of Nürnberg, students will address a real-world sustainability communication challenge defined by the partner. Throughout the course, students will explore key questions including: - How can sustainability themes be communicated in cities? - What forms of communication foster engagement with climate change, circular economy, or other sustainability challenges? - Which actors and audiences should be involved in designing communication strategies?
For SRMC and SGL students - Food today and in the future: challenges and opportunities (Projekt)
Dozent/in: Adrián Fuente Ballesteros, Vania Gomes Zuin Zeidler, Viola Hakkarainen, Oliver Schmidt
Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 14:15 - 17:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 25.019 Seminarraum | C25
Inhalt: Food can shed new light on the debate about common objects and social ontology and the division and interconnection between nature and culture, covering biological purpose, composition, sources (such as plants, animals, fungi or others), forms, cultural and social significance (such as cultural identity, social bonding, comfort and pleasure). This includes the chemical and physical nature of food: what was, is and will it be made of? And how? What tastes, flavors, textures, appearances, colors and design of processing and additives aiming at greater attractiveness and consumption? How do engineering, chemistry, toxicology, medicine, psychology, social, food and material sciences (e.g., for packaging design) and advertising / communication manifest and materialize in food? What remains of them, the avoidable food waste in different cycles and countries? Food is a central theme of many contemporary debates on malnutrition, eating disorders, obesity, prevalent silent diseases, contaminants and problems related to degradable and composable packaging for consumer goods, regulation, (international) fair trade and geopolitics, especially important considering the links between sustainability of food supplies. To this end, it is necessary to identify relevant initiatives (company, farm, school, NGO, research centers, and any other pertinent institution), focusing on key criteria: e.g., food production (agriculture), processing (feedstocks, materials and techniques), consumption, food waste and loss prevention, policy, legislation, labeling, official testing laboratory, (bio)circular economy, design and market of healthier products, food security, right to food and right food as well as the interlinks with, for instance, educational institutions, programs and strategies.

Emotions concerning Climate Change: Exploring Responses to Eco-Anxiety (Projekt)
Dozent/in: Celine Ebeloe, Viola Hakkarainen
Termin:
wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 10:15 - 13:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 25.021 Seminarraum
Inhalt: This seminar focuses on a range of emotions associated with climate change. Participants will first investigate these emotions through their own lived experiences and subsequently address them in projects conducted outside the seminar setting. In-depth engagement with one’s own emotional responses, observation of personal coping strategies, and the collaborative development of constructive behavioural patterns form the basis on which students generate and implement their own project ideas. Students may define their own research foci and select the audience they wish to study. Possible project ideas range from interdisciplinary comparisons of different university-based population groups to explorations of the role of community in managing eco-anxiety, for example in shared living arrangements.
