Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Climate change and human mobilities are two of the defining issues of our time; both processes are deeply entwined in a complex web of socio-ecological relations and are demanding increasingly innovative responses from political and policy communities.
This seminar course is concerned with the relationships between climate change and human mobilities, the ways in which both issues (in isolation as well as combined) have become problematised and the range of political and policy responses that have been proposed.
As well as providing an opportunity to go into depth on the issues of climate change and human mobilities, this course will introduce students to the concept of problematisation.
This seminar will be conducted in a participatory learning style, and therefore cooperative analysis, discussion of literature, debates, and presentations will be used. Students are expected to be prepared to contribute to the seminar.

Assessment and permitted materials

50%: presentations/interaction in class.
50%: written assignment (MAXIMUM 3,000 words including references) to be submitted by 15.07.18

In order to successfully complete the course, students must attend at least 10 of the 12 seminars, be prepared, and contribute to the class.
