Acerca de este curso

  • The conceptual history of sustainability and sustainable development
    • This module will introduce you to those historical processes that joined environmentalism and developmentalism into the concept ‘sustainable development’, and to the challenges emerging from the encounter of physical planetary boundaries with social limits to human livelihood.
  • Ideas about individuals and society
    • This module will introduce you to a variety of ideas about where sustainable solutions are going to come from by focusing e.g. on constituent based regulative political decision-making vs. the aggregate economic power of multifarious individual consumer choices, and on the ideals of universal human rights.
  • Ideas about relations between humans and nature
    • This module centres on various interpretations of human relations to nature, to attaining knowledge about nature, and to some ethical considerations pertinent when interacting with other biological species.
  • Ideas about time and change
    • This module presents some prevalent ideas about time and change while focusing specifically on the history of post-colonial developmentalism, the political hegemony of universally infinite economic growth, and the supposed transition from a linear to an exponential time regime.
