Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar on narratives in sustainability transformations provides students with a comprehensive understanding of different approaches and perspectives on narratives in sustainability science and transformation research. The seminar covers an overview of research fields and the role of narratives in transformation processes. Students are encouraged to reflect on the different perspectives in a socio-constructivist research mode and adopt an analytical perspective to develop a deeper understanding of the complexities of sustainability transformations.

The seminar follows the idea of a “switched classroom” concept, including guided self-learning sessions and on site sessions for joint discussions, reflections and a deeper understanding of the scientific discussion. Therefore, the seminar is divided into three parts:
● Part I Integrative Theoretical Foundations with five presentations to gain profound knowledge about narratives in sustainability transformations.
● Part II Perspectives on Narratives - From Theory to Practice with insights in seven different projects working with narratives in sustainability transformations in manifold ways.
● Part III Case Studies: Apply your knowledge in two different case studies

The course will take place in English and German.
