Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Imperial Modes of Living are deeply entrenched in Europe. The development towards social and ecological responsibility, which is necessary from a global perspective, touches upon many interwoven levels: economic system, social institutions, law, everyday practices and cultural orientations.“Circular economy” and “ZeroWaste” are two concepts negotiating possible new practices is that respect: in areas ranging from the new EU Action Plan to business models and modes of production, to personal lifestlyes. What do these conepts entail? Which actors and strategies have the potential of really contributing to a social-ecological transformation?We’ll study the various aspects of circular economy and ZeroWaste in this seminar. Students will get detailed assignments and materials online each week.Ongoing tasks during term will take about 6 hours of work each week.During the weekly sessions, we will discuss the assignments of the previous week. There will be no participation in the sessions without prior preparation. Handing in assignments on time each week is a requirement, and the basis for productive discussions in the session.
