PLEASE NOTE: Both seminar schedules and locations shift (almost) weekly!
According to the final number of participants, we will establish a weekly alternating rotation scheme for the physical presence (e.g. during one week one group connects digitally, another physically in the room, and vice versa the following week). This arrangement will be communicated via moodle prior to the first session - please be cautious! Your physical presence is strongly encouraged, however only recommended to those complying with the 2,5G-rule. We will additionally attempt to meet occasionally and informally after the seminar.

GOALS: Generally, advanced concepts of the vast field of Political Ecology will be gradually enriched with interlocked social, economic, political and environmental problem dimensions over the course of the seminar and thus remain interrogated with the aim of acquiring independent, informed definitions towards formulating potentially novel policy ideas and input. Overall, you will be equipped to adequately understand, use and critically engage with these concepts, as well as to position yourself in ongoing contemporary debates, including policy-relevance.
METHODS: Small group-based autonomous literature study and preparation of interactive, engaging presentations (mock discussions, role plays, quiz shows, etc.). In addition, every week specifically tailored input will be collectively elaborated through short lectures (incl. video material and images), as well as group discussions and by applying flipped classroom methods.
