Inhalt: NOTE, 8 SEP: The very FIRST SESSION most likely will be ON ZOOM; All FOLLOWING SESSIONS are planned to take place ON CAMPUS. PLEASE READ YOUR EMAILS (the account you enrolled with) FOR UPDATES! Email joern.fischer@uni.leuphana.de for questions. NOTE, 4 SEP: COURSE FORMAT DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC --- In a non-pandemic year, a typical 90-min session would involve 45 min of input by Joern Fischer, plus 45 min of small group discussions. We will try to run this class in a similar way this year; with a few modifications to ensure that everyone is safe. According to current planning, THE CLASS WILL TAKE PLACE ON CAMPUS. We will use a relatively large lecture theatre, so that people are spaced from another at a safe distance. Instead of small group discussions, we will use the (less ideal) format of plenary level discussions. In the case of a worsening of the Covid situation during the semester, the class will be shifted to an online format. If you have questions about the current state of planning, please contact Joern Fischer for details. This note on course format is subject to change; please re-check mystudy and your email regularly. Sustainable use of Earth’s resources in a time of global change is one of the central challenges for humanity in the 21st century. This seminar will be a mixture of lectures and discussion sessions to introduce key issues related to sustainability science for Masters students in this topic. Beginning with an overview of the existing theoretical foundations of sustainability science and research, the seminar deals with the historical development, current challenges and future potential of this research field. Key aspects include an examination of social-ecological systems, sustainable development, and global change. The interaction of disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research in sustainability science and the fundamentals of a problem- and solution-oriented research field are also discussed.
